Summer Student Spotlight:
While most students are enjoying time out of school with friends and family, some are spending time sharpening their talents participating in summer programs. This week, Megan Hamm is participating in the Missouri Youth Tour in Washington D.C. sponsored by the Missouri Electric Cooperatives. Megan earned this trip earlier in the year by writing an amazing essay.
Here is a link to a video explaining what this trip is all about.

Summer Student Spotlight:

This week, Victor Duchscherer is in Warrensburg on the campus of The University of Central Missouri participating in the annual American Legion Boys State of Missouri. Boy's State is one of the nation's top leadership programs for the youth of America.

To younger generations today, June 6th is simply another day. But, to many, this is a day we remember. Seventy-Five years ago today, a hand full of young men, many who were no older than teenagers, showed courage rarely seen today. These young men stormed a beach, helping to stop to one of the most prolific evils this world has ever known. If you know or see one of these men today, let them know of your gratitude by thanking them, offering a hug or a simply, a handshake. These men will be identified by the time on their face and the pride in their heart. It is this pride that has carried them through time to pass their experiences to other generations so we may never forget the sacrifices they gave for our freedom. They will never forget the brothers they lost this day, nor shall we! So take a moment today to give thanks, and remember this pivotal day in our country's history. May we never let the memory of the lives lost and those who were fortunate to come home, be forgotten.
