This is a special birthday greeting to our "Marine hero" in Afghanistan!


We have been in regular contact with Sgt. Fabien Nelson, who is a US Marine that was deployed to Afghanistan.  Students communicate with Sgt. Nelson via Skype.  They recite original poems written in honor of freedom and the bravery of our US troops at home and abroad.  It is always encouraging for us to know that we are making a difference in the lives of those who bravely defend our freedom.   Can you imagine how thrilled he was to receive this birthday greeting?
