Veterans Day 2015

Today we were honored by the number of veterans who came to our annual assembly.  Six or seven years ago, we had four veterans and today we had over 20!  The children sang songs, read letters and held the flag high as we celebrated those who have made sacrifices for our freedom and their families who have sacrificed as well.  At the end, the veterans all saluted our students, which was a tremendous honor.  We had a reception following the ceremony and were able to hear stories and mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, our own local community members and Master Sargent Monbleau from our own staff were able to bond over their experiences and the meaning of this important day that we honor each year.  Please take some time tomorrow to talk with your child(ren) about the true meaning of "Veterans Day" and why we are not in school.  Thank you!
