Actually, I am a Grandparent, but could not find the right title. Just wanted to say, I had the pleasure to attend Our Hero's day at Hambright. Students pick out a hero. They read a book, did posters, researched information on their person, and some had computer information. Adults and students went through each station, and asked questions about their Hero. They presented the information on their hero, and answered question about the Hero. They were 3rd graders, and did a fantastic job, in presenting their material verbally and answering unscripted questions. Learned a lot about different hero's. Enjoyed afternoon. Great job.
