I was so excited about the project, I wished I could have come to school with my son when the architects were presenting! 39. Chang Sun and Roger Mitchell for volunteering to come and teach us about architecture! We will remember not only what you taught us, but the enthusiasm you had for learning! Mrs. Kathy Grad for your support, and Mr. Kurt Dietrich for coordinating the project. 40.
