Sabrina Nickerson's
fifth-grade class sits with Field-Allen Post Commander Melvin Greenier and Vice
Commander Karle Learned. Melvin and Karle were in the classroom to discuss the significance of
the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). Kaila Mank (center) is holding a GAR
cemetery marker. The class has been collecting donations on behalf of the
American Legion to support the purchase of replacement GAR markers in the
cemeteries in Windham. The class collected over $450 for this
purpose and presented the donation to Commander Greenier during Community
Day held last week. A total of 58 markers will be replaced this spring during
Memorial Day events. Photo by Sabrina Nickerson.
