Mrs. Randall’s 3rd grade class is going to the Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Four students will be allowed to carry the wreath. In order to be on the ‘Tomb Team’, the students have to write a letter telling why they should be selected.
Anna has always wanted to be chosen for teams at school, but never is. Never, never , never. She really, really wants to be chosen for the Tomb Team. That night, she calls her Grandpa to ask him questions, and then works hard on her letter.
When Mrs. Randall announces the winner, she reads one of the letters. It is signed ‘Natalie – with help from Anna. P. S. – will you let Anna walk with me?’ At the ceremony, Natalie leads
the procession, with Anna walking beside her.
Read the book to see who Natalie is. It may surprise you!
