The children of Iroquois Middle School of Niskayuna, NY have adopted the crew of the USS CARNEY.  Six Grade students of Carol LaRow's English class have done an impressive job of providing support to sailors while deployed to the Mediterranean.  They have put together beautiful letters to show that they know how important CARNEY's job is to support our Nation.  The letters were sent over the holiday season, and really bolstered the crew's morale.  These special letters really let the crew know that they had not been forgotten over the holidays.  Many friendships have already been established, and the crew of CARNEY is in progress of writing letters to the kids, and in many cases, the correspondence will be ongoing.  Principal, David Crandall, and their teacher, Carol LaRow, have a really great group of kids.
