Welcome Home Sgt. Matthew O'Malley

January 26^th was a very special day for Smithtown students Keeley O’Malley, a fourth grader at Mt. Pleasant Elementary and her brother Connor, 6^th grader at Great Hollow Middle School.  Their dad, Sgt. Matthew O’Malley, returned from Afghanistan and surprised them at school.  Sgt. O’Malley answered questions in Mr. Jackowski’s 4^th grade class and explained to the students how important the American Flag is.  He said it is a symbol that reminds soldiers of home.  He encouraged them to keep remembering our servicemen and women as they say the pledge in school each day.  The staff at Mt. Pleasant also took part in the celebration by making banners and lending their photography expertise.
