Lakota sixth-grader Trevor Earnestâs father is stationed with other military troops in Afghanistan, and he sent word back home to the U.S. that they were craving some snack foods.
Earnest, who attends Independence Elementary in Liberty Twp., wanted to help. He and his mother came up with the idea of a snack food drive at the school.
Thirty big boxes of snacks later, his father, U.S. Air Force surgeon Lt Col. Ryan Earnest, and his fellow soldiers had plenty to chow down on, all stuffed into festive Christmas stockings.
