Constitution Day

On Monday, Sept. 17, Jason Cross’s seventh grade history classes at Crestview Middle School observed Constitution Day by discussing the importance of the constitution and the freedom and rights it gives us as a nation. As a surprise, students were able to speak with Specialist Zane Slusher. SPC Slusher, who just returned home from a tour in Afghanistan, was stationed in Kandahar for 10 months and was a driver and gunner in the United States Army. Students were able to ask SPC. Slusher many questions about his tour, learning about the climate, geography, and a typical day in the life of a soldier. (Photo submitted.)
