Every year, students at Jackson's school each do a presentation on a Saint. Well, this was our first year doing this, so we weren't really sure how this would play out. Luckily, Jackson was really into it and he picked Saint George. I was hoping he'd pick St. Henry since Henry is his middle name. Nana wanted him to pick St. Francis since that is Papa's name. But St. Francis was already chosen. And he really, really liked St. George. Wanna know why? He was a soldier.
So not only did Jackson learn alot about St. George, Kenny and I did too. We did a shield like St. George used to carry and then Jackson placed some pictures and facts about St. George on the shield. One of my favorite factoids about St. George is that many soldiers today wear a St. George medal to protect them in battle. So we made St. George medals for all of Jackson's classmates.
