Earlier this school year, students in Nancy Csorny’s third-grade class at Great Neck Road School in Copiague organized a “Stockings for Soldiers” fundraiser in which they collected batteries, toiletries, and writing paper and envelopes, as well as other requested items, and handwritten letters.
To thank the students for their generosity, Staff Sergeant Johnathan Schmanski of Alpha Company, 3/214th Aviation Regiment, and his wife, Army Specialist Cathrine Schmanski visited the classroom and presented them with a special surprise. The students were presented with an American flag that had been flown aboard a U.S Army Unmanned Air System during a combat mission over the skies of Afghanistan on January 9, 2011.
During the visit, Staff Sergeant Schmanski and Army Specialist Schmanski also took the time to speak with the children and answer their questions.
