In an effort to spread holiday cheer to those serving our country, fifth-graders in Kate Hunter's class at Minnesauke Elementary School participated in the AdoptaPlatoon initiative.

The students created cards and wrote inspiring messages to military personnel who are deployed from Fort Campbell, Kentucky to Iraq. The troops will receive these cards attached to a box of candy canes, which the students hope will help to raise morale and put a smile on each service member’s  face.
