☀️We’re kicking off our summer adventures in “ Where in the World is D5” with Issac Waltz, a rising 7th grader at Florence Chapel Middle School.☀️

From helping heroes to meeting wild animals, his summer trip to Nashville, Tennessee, was one to remember. He and his family served as missionaries, helping veterans who struggle with PTSD🪖.

They also visited the zoo and saw a variety of wild animals. Sounds like so much fun!!
