Staff Sergeant David Sawler Visits Grade 2

On January 5, Mrs. Murphy’s Second Graders had a visit from Nicolas’ dad, Staff Sergeant David Sawler.  Staff Sergeant Sawler was home on leave for the holidays. He will return to Afghanistan on Saturday.

Staff Sergeant Sawler’s job is a military policeman.  He works with the Afghanistan police to help them take care of their country. 

He told us a lot about the schools in Afghanistan.  The classrooms are not nice like they are in Barrington.  The floors are dirt and they have no desks, chairs or lights. Some students walk as much as 5 or 6 miles to school. They begin at 5:00 am and end at 3:00 pm.  They don’t have recess or lunch breaks, they work very hard and love school. They all learn English. The students wear uniforms to school and have very little other clothing. 

Families don’t typically own cars and there are no big stores there. Children do no have video games and there are no fast food restaurants. 

Staff Sergeant Sawler spends a lot of time with the children of Afghanistan.  He tells them about the children in the United States.  He explains that they play, laugh and have lots of fun.  He wants them to know that US children are nice. 

We really enjoyed our visit with him.  He showed us the many medals he has received.  One that he is most proud of is his Good Conduct Medal.  This is given to soldiers who follow the rules and don’t get into trouble. He also received 2 bronze stars for going above and beyond the normal job in combat.

Thanks for sharing your Dad with us Nicolas!
