On Tuesday, Feb. 9, retired teacher Mr. Marestaing came to Sierra Vista Elementary School dressed as Abraham Lincoln. Along with his black suit and top hat, “Mr. Lincoln” brought many artifacts from his life to share with the children. The students in first, fourth and fifth grade were able to enjoy this assembly in honor of President Lincoln’s birthday. The children enjoyed the presentation, and loved learning so much about our 16th president in this hands-on assembly.
