I would like to request your participation, once again, in
speaking to my United States History students on your experiences while serving
our Nation. I have scheduled this year’s
presentation Friday, May 2, 2014, from 8am – 12:45pm in the Lower Gym of Bret Harte High (same location as last year).
The purpose of this presentation is to help bring history
alive for our students. Who else can
tell the story of our Armed Forces better than those who have worn the
uniform? Learning history on a
first-person basis is the most remembered history.
Like years past, I will have the Lower Gym setup in an
“exhibitor” fashion with small groups speaking with each presenter for approx.
20 minutes. I would like to encourage
you to bring with you any momentous, pictures, etc. that will help to tell your
story.
Also on this day we
will be dedicating a memorial to those Bret Harte alumni who have made the
ultimate sacrifice. The dedication will
be at 7:45am under the flag pole on the Bret Harte football field. This was Jared Taylor’s senior project and he
would be more than honored if you were able to join us for this brief ceremony.
If you would please let me know if you will be able to
attend at your earliest convenience, or if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
And, if you would like to extend this invitation to other potential
speakers, please feel free to do so.
Thank you,
Jennifer Truman-Nanik
