In Mrs. Gerberding's 1st Grade class Everleigh's mom came to visit today! She talked about what it is like to be in the Air Force Reserves. She read the class a military book "My Mommy is a Hero" and passed out patriotic cake pops to the kids. They loved asking her questions and it was a great way to celebrate Veterans Day!
