West Virginia Students Experience
First Person via Skype
Students from Lumberport Elementary School in Lumberport, West Virginia, have been learning about the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. "Our students are studying how the senselessness of violence shouldn't exist and that we should find better ways to solve our differences, more peaceful ways,” said Sharon Clagett, speech pathologist and project coordinator. Earlier this year, the Hope Trunk arrived at the school filled with items from the Memorial and Museum. As part of the program, the 4th and 5th graders got to meet someone with a connection to the bombing via 
Skype. On Tuesday, they spoke with survivor Terri Talley, who was working on the 3rd floor of the Murrah Building. On Wednesday, they spoke with Rev. Wendy Lambert, a woman who lost her father in the attack. Students also had the opportunity to ask the speakers questions. "You can talk with them and hear their story,” Clagett said. “It's a first person, someone who was there and experienced it."
