Students in Mr. Keith Andrews' Civics and Geography classes recently completed a writing assignment to thank Medal of Honor recipients as a lead up to National Medal of Honor Day, March 25th. The idea came to Mr. Andrews from Dr. Janine Strange, a motivational speaker who has an organization that recognizes the recipients with letters from across the nation. Students in his class chose a recipient and wrote a letter thanking them for their service. It was his hope that the project would help students "gain respect for those who fought so hard and gave so much."
