This morning, the eighth grade was treated to a presentation from Mr. Justin Conley. Justin is Andrea Conley’s (Lakeview Health Teacher) husband who has just returned from serving nine months in Iraq. As part of their community service project the eighth grade students collected items for care packages and wrote cards and letters to the soldiers in Iraq. Justin came to personally thank the students for their packages and letters as well as share a little bit about what life in Iraq is like. The students learned about life on a base which includes restaurants and gyms. Students were also allowed to ask questions ahead of time which Justin worked into his presentation. This was an eye opening presentation that was well received by the students and staff alike.
