The 3rd Grade students of Margaret McCanless and Annette Boehm recently took a trip to tour North American Rescue, a business that sends medical supplies to war zones. While there, the students wrote cards of encouragement to the soldiers, helped pack medical supply kits, rode in a tank, climbed a climbing wall, and got to put on uniforms and equipment a real soldier would use in combat. The company is owned by Bob Castellani, an SFCS 3rd Grade parent.
