Ian and I walked over 15 miles exploring Paris together. We saw so much! From the Eiffel Tower, to Napoleonโ€™s tomb, to the Pantheon, to Notre-Dame, Paris is amazing. @rochcommschools @VHMSVikings

Couldn't be more proud of Ian for his eulogy of our soldier we've been researching. The culmination of 10 months of work, it was moving. The family of Auvergne Breault said they couldn't be more proud to have Abe honored 80 years later after D-Day. @rochcommschools @VHMSVikings

With former student Ian at the AHS Normandy Institute in Normandy learning about D-Day for the 80th Anniversary. The fellowship motto is โ€œFreedom isnโ€™t Freeโ€. To see how long the beaches are and the obstacles these brave men had to endure, priceless @rochcommschools @VHMSVikings

For the Normandy fellowship I was awarded, I am wondering if anyone in the area has someone they know that fought in WWII in Normandy, is from Michigan, and is buried at Normandy. We will research this individual, eulogize them, and their records will be saved @rochcommschools

If anyone has someone they know who served in WW2, fought during the Normandy operation, and is buried in Normandy and would like my student and myself to research their life and eulogize them in Normandy, let me know asap. Some additional requirements.

Beyond excited for what is coming ahead. A former student and I will be headed to France as a team this summer on a unique fellowship opportunity to study WW2. We will study in Washington DC, Normandy, and Paris. @rochcommschools @VHMSVikings
