The 6th graders "went to school" for the whole Mohawk District today, since Franklin County was experiencing the aftermath of an apparent microburst.

We quietly walked past the Vietnam Memorial; some looking for family or aquaintence names (i.e.Bernard Stanley Plaza from Montague, MA & Brian Edward Tierney from Mrs. Bigelow's home town). We noticed diamonds, crosses on the memorial, flowers & flags left at the base of the panels.

We proceeded to the tribute to women, and then to the Korean War Memorial. Noticed the etching, heavy suits, and diverse faces of the soldiers. It is Hot! Lots of water consumption encouraged today.

Cheyenna saved the day for another tourist when she found a neck pouch with credit cards and identification. A call to the phone number on the front and the owner quickly came over to claim her belongings. Good eyes Cheyenna.
