Hilton kindergarten class connects with Marine veteran
Carter Christensen with a picture of his dad, retired Marine Corporal Kyle Christensen.
Students in Annmarie Young’s kindergarten class at Hilton’s Village Elementary School made a special connection in honor of Veterans Day this year. Through the miracle of technology, the class was able to learn about life as a U.S. Marine thanks to a virtual visit from Kyle Christensen, retired Marine corporal; father of Carter, a student in Young’s class; and son of Marianne Christensen, retired Hilton teaching assistant. Mr. Christensen talked to the students about his different uniforms, the countries he’s visited, what Veterans Day means to him, and how he didn’t meet Carter until three months after Carter was born because he was serving overseas. “What an amazing opportunity to connect with a real veteran and wonderful to see how proud my student was of his father,” said Young. Mr. Christensen suggested the class virtually visit some troops overseas to cheer them up over the holidays. Young, a proponent of distance learning, offers her students many opportunities to connect with real-life experiences around the world. Provided information and photo
Holley sixth-grader collects donations for animal shelter The Orleans County Sheriff ’s Animal Shelter received a large donation from a Holley Elementary student. For three weeks, Josmar Hernandez, a sixth-grader, collected donations from Holley staff and students to give to the Orleans County Animal Shelter. Josmar’s love for animals, especially dogs, prompted him to start collecting items that the shelter could use. Over 300 items were collected, including dog and cat food, toys, bedding, and cat litter.
Josmar wanted to come to the shelter to visit the animals, but due to COVID-19, that currently isn’t allowed. Undersheriff Michael Mele and Animal Control Officer Airel Ambrose along with friendly dog Weson visited Josmar at the school. All items donated will be used at the shelter to provide the animals with a happy stay while they are waiting to be adopted. Provided information
