Deployed soldiers thank first-graders

Kieran Kalt’s first-graders at Lahontan Elementary, along with Parent Teacher Organization President Sheila Washington, did a video call with the recipients of their class’ military care package sent over the holidays. The students sang to the overseas Nevada Army National Guard unit, who also answered the student’s questions and showed a handwritten thank you letter from Nevada Army National Guard Brig. Gen. Michael Hanifan. A few parents also joined the session, some veterans themselves.
