BIA Trip Supports Learning and our Troops!

Second Graders from Old Town Elementary School recently had the pleasure of greeting troops and seeing them off overseas.
Learning Community #1 took a field trip to Bangor International Airport to culminate their year long studies of the seven continents. While there, they were pleasantly surprised, by getting an invitation to join a group of dedicated folks and veterans who kindly meet incoming and outbound flights of soldiers. Second graders stepped right up and were proud to shake hands, give high fives, and say “thank you” to 229 men and women on their way to Iraq. Following the meet and greet session, the tour continued on as planned. The original goal for the day, learning about world travel was accomplished. But somehow, the adults and children involved in this experience came away with some even more important lessons about how we can all do our part. This was a trip worth taking!
