A Visit From Lieutenant Kelton
2008.09.23
This is Lieutenant Jonathan Kelton. He is the son of our Health Teacher, Kathy Kelton. Lieutenant Kelton is a United States Airborne Ranger. In December of 2007 he was sent to Afghanistan to serve our country. While he was there he initiated communication with Mrs. Rowe and Mrs. Rubenfeld's 4th grade classes. He developed a nice rapport with the children and their families. Today he visited our entire 5th grade.

In honor of this visit, today was proclaimed "Red, White and Blue Day" at SIS. Many students brought signs to the assembly that showed how much we appreciate the work of our soldiers.

I have never witnessed an assembly where students were more attentive.

At the end of the presentation there was not enough time to answer all the questions fifth graders wanted to ask. We thank Lieutenant Kelton so much for his time today. We also thank him for his service to our country and wish him much success as he returns to his work!

Lieutenant Kelton was really awesome! I really liked how he is protecting our country! He really was a nice person. I am happy to know that I know someone who is fighting to protect the country. I can't wait to meet him again!

Lieutenant Kelton...Yes, I think I could have guessed as a child that you would become a dashing young military man! Is there any way I can contact Lieutenant Kelton? I am an old friend and my brother is no in the army with dreams of becoming an airborne ranger himself. I would love to get in touch. Please let me know. Best wishes and love to Jon! =)
