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. Rochester Community Schools Van Hoosen Middle School

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.

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 Rochester Community Schools

An RCS student and teacher are remembering the 80th anniversary of D-Day in a special way. Van Hoosen teacher Matt Cottone and Adams student Ian Smith were selected for the Albert H. Small Normandy Institute’s international fellowship. More at: facebook.com/RochesterCommu…. #RCSpride

With former student Ian at the AHS Normandy Institute in Normandy learning about D-Day for the 80th Anniversary. The fellowship motto is “Freedom isn’t Free”. To see how long the beaches are and the obstacles these brave men had to endure, priceless Rochester Community Schools Van Hoosen Middle School

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. Rochester Community Schools Van Hoosen Middle School

Ian and I walked over 15 miles exploring Paris together. We saw so much! From the Eiffel Tower, to Napoleon’s tomb, to the Pantheon, to Notre-Dame, Paris is amazing. Rochester Community Schools Van Hoosen Middle School
