Special Tribute to Mr. John Peeler..
Hello Mr. Peeler, I hope you are doing well. I am on a Disney Cruise, and as we are traversing the waters off of Cuba, you came to mind. I vividly remember your descriptions of the 1898 explosion of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor and how it kicked off the Spanish-American War. Thanks for teaching me all of that history stuff!
Best Regards,
Kevin A.
Mr. Peeler taught this student 35 years ago! LSA is so grateful to have Mr. Peeler as he continues to share his vast knowledge about history!
Happy Birthday Mr. Peeler and Mrs. Morice!

LSA Spirit Club wants to allow all competitors to channel their creativity into this design, as Arty is a representative of the school and, therefore, its students. The competition is open from Oct 31, 2022, to Nov 18, 2022.
