Seth Staples ,our superintendent, would like to honor his grandfather, Alt Staples, who served in World War II. Mr. Staples&#x27;s grandfather fought in the battle of Iwo Jima.  During this battle 75% of his platoon was killed.  Alt survived the battle and was stationed to watch Japanese Prisoners on the island of Japan.  One of his prized possessions was a shell covered purse given to him from a Japanese family for his kindness to the people of Japan.
