Her teacher, Mrs. Janet Greulach asked her students to bring in items to send to the troops overseas. The students, with the help of their parents, did an amazing job gathering all of the items that were sent here and wrote letters to the troops as well. Lost Creek Principal Madonna Johnson took care of the postage costs of these packages to help make this delivery possible.
