Whether it's peacetime or wartime, it's always important to teach our students that Veterans Day means more than just a day off from school. Patriotism is a value that must be taught and modeled for our young students. By taking some time to give this sentiment even deeper meaning in our classroom we will be holding a Veterans’ Day Ceremony on November 9, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. in the Pennoyer Gymnasium. Students will participate in a variety of events some including singing songs incorporating the United States Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines. We will view a documentary from Discovery Education about Veterans and Veterans Day. We will listen to some veterans that will come to our school and speak to us about what this day’s means to them. We will give thank you cards to those veterans present in honor of their heroism. Each student and visitor will receive a United States flag that they will be able to wave around as a celebration of thanks to our veterans.
