Veterans Day Tribute Project

(in case you did not receive my e-mail)
I would like to honor anyone in your family (or friends of your family) who are either veterans or active duty in the U.S. armed forces. On Monday, I will send home a sheet of construction paper to display your student's tribute...I just wanted to give you a heads up so you can start thinking about it (and digging through all of your old family photos like I will be this weekend :-)). When you get the paper, please include copies of photos, the active duty/veteran's name(s), branch, rank, years of service (if known), relation to student, and any other interesting information you would like to include. I am requesting copies of photos because I would like to laminate these for the students to keep as a reminder of their honorable heritage! Thanks for your support!

Patriotism


During the month of November, our school will be celebrating the character trait patriotism. We will tie this into our social studies standards about our country's government and constitution. Here is a fun song to get us informed and excited about our nation's history!
