00:28.990 --> 00:31.560
D . Primary teacher . Okay

00:32.740 --> 00:35.380
emotional emotionally behavior

00:35.380 --> 00:36.380
disturbed .

00:40.340 --> 00:43.980
And how did this idea come out to put

00:43.990 --> 00:46.046
care packages together ? How did you

00:46.046 --> 00:48.810
come up with ? Um I was going to adopt

00:48.810 --> 00:51.950
a soldier . I saw an interview where

00:51.960 --> 00:54.071
Michelle Obama was talking to a group

00:54.071 --> 00:57.320
of veterans and she was saying how is

00:57.330 --> 01:00.060
how important it is to get back . And

01:00.060 --> 01:02.610
so I was like okay you can adopt a

01:02.610 --> 01:04.832
soldier that would be cool . And then I

01:04.832 --> 01:06.943
thought about it . We needed a school

01:06.943 --> 01:08.999
service project and I said the whole

01:08.999 --> 01:10.943
school can adopt soldiers and that

01:10.943 --> 01:13.340
would be even more you know joy and

01:13.340 --> 01:15.507
caring to be shared . So I brought the

01:15.507 --> 01:17.890
idea back to my principal and she gave

01:17.890 --> 01:19.946
me the green light . So it was about

01:20.640 --> 01:24.000
okay so what's the what's the plan ? My

01:24.000 --> 01:27.160
plan is that we are gonna do three

01:27.170 --> 01:30.830
main um basically drives the first

01:30.830 --> 01:32.830
drive . I'm gonna try to get it out

01:32.830 --> 01:34.774
before christmas and it's gonna be

01:34.774 --> 01:36.941
christmas cards um and letters as well

01:36.941 --> 01:39.810
as a big care package for the first um

01:39.820 --> 01:41.876
to get out before christmas to go to

01:41.876 --> 01:44.042
the soldiers . The second one is going

01:44.042 --> 01:46.264
to be done before spring break and it's

01:46.264 --> 01:50.250
the same thing letters cards um and um

01:50.840 --> 01:54.570
different you know candy wipes . Um I

01:54.580 --> 01:57.340
think popcorn and things like that are

01:57.350 --> 01:59.970
big items that they want . So we're

01:59.970 --> 02:02.110
gonna send that out and then the last

02:02.110 --> 02:04.440
one is just before school lets out the

02:04.450 --> 02:07.200
third and final package . Okay . And

02:07.200 --> 02:10.460
why is this important to you ? Um ,

02:11.040 --> 02:14.070
it's important to me because I am um ,

02:14.080 --> 02:17.200
although I'm not fit enough to serve

02:17.210 --> 02:20.850
too short , I can't see , but

02:21.540 --> 02:24.180
um , it's my way of giving back and

02:24.180 --> 02:26.402
saying thank you to those who can serve

02:26.402 --> 02:28.310
and who are willing to serve and

02:28.310 --> 02:30.310
protect . I don't think the average

02:30.310 --> 02:32.870
citizen knows how much of a threat that

02:32.880 --> 02:35.690
we do face abroad . And now sometimes

02:35.700 --> 02:38.490
even on our own home shores , but those

02:38.490 --> 02:41.400
who are willing to serve , I want to

02:41.400 --> 02:44.200
show my thanks and appreciation . Do

02:44.200 --> 02:45.370
you have an questions ?
