Grades 5-8 Make Birthday Cards for WWII Code Girl
The middle level students made birthday cards to celebrate Leona Chasse, a Navy veteran who is one of the last surviving WWII Code Girls. Leona currently resides at the Maine Veterans’ Home in Scarborough and is turning 99 this month. We jumped at the chance to be able to show our appreciation and to make her day a little more cheerful. “Leona was one of 10,000 Navy WAVES secretly recruited as ‘Code Girls’ to serve as Code Breakers working in secrecy to break German and Japanese codes,” according to a friend and fellow Navy veteran.
We also used this opportunity to teach the students more about this time in history and the importance of heroes like Leona.
These students have been recognized for “Respecting themselves, Respecting others, and Respecting their Environment” as well as exhibiting positive behaviors and/or academic success. Congratulations to all of our November
Students of the Month who are being recognized for being helpful.
The following students were nominated this month; Liam Carroll, Alden Berry, Maeve Dennett, Abram Stephens, Oliver Hill, Jaxson Gerrard, Gabbie Mason, Isabella Carter, Cienna Macioch, Jacob Smith, Shaun Pheng, Bretley McClintick, Alexis Bernier, Wynn Heninger, Samantha Kopp & Liam Carroll.
