Dear Students and Teachers at Bowie Middle School,
My name is Adam Marez, I’m
stationed in Kirkuk Regional Air Base in Iraq. I’m in the Air Force (Security Forces) and
would like to thank everyone who was involved in my care
package. From the bottom of my heart I appreciate everything
ya’ll are doing for the military members in Iraq. The snacks are GREAT! I
especially enjoyed reading the letters from the students. I
found myself thinking back when I was in middle school (Greiner Middle School) and how much fun I
had during that time. So I can imagine what new and exciting
things the students are doing and into.
To answer a few questions: Yes,
the weather is extremely HOT here. Yes, at times things get
boring but we try to keep as busy as possible. Yes, we do have
ways to communicate with our family’s back home but sometimes it
can be some what difficult.
Once again thanks to everyone at Bowie Middle School. We appreciate
everything ya’ll are doing. To the students keep up the good
work and stay focused… Your friend
Adam Marez

the process they made track history. To all who ran and jumped and threw:
Hold your heads high and roar loudly because the Bowie Cubs are City Track
