BOARDMAN Students at Boardman Center Intermediate School heard back from soldiers overseas who received their ornaments and letters.
Staff Sgt. Andrew Wakemen sent a thank-you by email to the school after receiving more than 200 handmade ornaments and written letters as part of Operation Evergreen, the school district announced on Friday.
“My name is SSG Andrew Wakeman and I am currently deployed with the U.S. Army. I just wanted to let you know that we received the bag of Christmas ornaments your school sent. I am not sure which class or classes put these ornaments together but I wanted to say thank you. The ornaments were a great addition to our tree and really helped raise the spirits of our soldiers,” the email states.
