As daughters Melissa, Rachel and Laura are particular favorites when it comes to his attention, Mr. Lung treated the third grade, fifth grade and sixth grade classes by giving each a talk and sharing stories, photos and even his medals. All students were excited about the rare opportunity and showed this with their enthusiasm for Spec. Lung. Mr. Lung was guest of honor in the third grade "Show A Tell." The fifth graders made a welcome banner with personal messages and the sixth grade hosted a celebration complete with cake for the occasion. Welcome home, Mr. Lung and God bless you!
