On September 11 Sonshine Preschool observed "Hero Day". There were military personnel, police officers, sheriff deputies, firefighters, search & rescue volunteers, and forestry service personnel. These heroes came in uniform and shared a snack with the preschoolers. "Hero Day" is an occasion that creates a positive introductory exposure for the young students with the uniformed "helpers" in their world. There were positive conversations between students and heroes, photo opportunities and even some juice box sharing. The local heroes also brought stickers, hats, and glow sticks for all of the students. Thank you to our service heroes. Story and Photos by Chad Schommer.
