National Guard mom surprises son at Daleville school

Stashevsky said he and Nicholas’ teacher had known about the surprise for a few days, the first such occurrence in the school.

“We’ve had others that have come back from Iraq, Kuwait or Afghanistan,” he said. “They’ve come in and had lunch, but it’s never been a surprise scenario before.”
