The 4th graders have adopted a member of the United States Air Force who is stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Meet Tony Bird! He is the father of 4 pretty cool kids, an avid reader of books, and an author! His talents also include playing the ukelele and the harmonica, as well as acting in plays! His unit of 19 has a 3-day cycle of Mission Plan, fly for an 18 hour work day, then a day off. His family lives here locally, and he visits when he can. It will take about 2 weeks for our letters/care package to reach Tony's unit in Japan, and then we can look forward to hearing back! While we're at it, we can learn about Asia and explore that part of the world!
Here are some items that Tony & his unit would love to find in care packages from home!Snacks - Candy - Paperback Books (they can't take their iDevices or Kindles on missions) - Crosswords - Sudoku - Any other games/activities like the crosswords - Sauces or Seasonings to make the food taste better! - The little packets of flavor for bottled water - Hand warmers (Since it is hot on the ground but really cold up in the planes!) - Anything else that we'd like to send would be awesomely appreciated!
