Thank you, Veterans, for your service!

     To celebrate and honor the Veterans of our great country, we attended a school wide chapel service. Ms. Heiskell gave a brief history of The National Anthem, followed by our guest speaker, Master Sgt. Adams. The students learned who Veterans are, why they are Veterans, what they do now, and how we can show them that we are thankful for their sacrifice. 

     We furthered the discussion in the classroom by completing a special project. Each student had the opportunity to research someone in their family, or a close friend that is a Veteran. The students were instructed to interview and listen to the Veteran's stories and then write a brief summary of why they are their American hero. It was such a joy to see the students understand the concept of honoring our Veterans, as well as their pride for their family member's sacrifice! I am daily inspired by my students' sweet and willing spirit. It is my prayer that the Lord continues to cultivate within them an appreciation for selfless giving. May they always be aware and humbled by God's grace in and throughout their lives.
