Special Guest Speaker!

Today in the media center, Ian Burns, a detector dog handler with R.A.I.D. Corps, spoke to 8th graders as part of their Heroes unit. Ian has extensive training and experience working and training dogs to detect bombs, drugs, and gunpowder. He earned both a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal and a Combat Action Ribbon during his service in the Iraq War. We enjoyed his presentation and the tie-in with the winner of the 2008-2009 S.C. Book Award winner, Cracker! The Best Dog in Vietnam.
