My intervention/enrichment students have been involved in an activity/service project gathering supplies to be placed in care packages for troops stationed around the world. We are utilizing Operation Shoebox as our vehicle to meet this goal. As we studied WW II, we spent some time learning about the North Platte Canteen that served 6 million troops snacks, drinks, and goodies on train stops while passing through North Platte. My students wanted to help this idea live on, and North Platte teenagers are once again helping to brighten our service people’s days.
