Veterans Day

Dear Parents/Guardians,

        As you may know the Veterans Day program will be next Friday, November 9^th.  As a class, we’d like to honor those family members who have served in the military. We’d like to do this by bringing in pictures of those members of our family who have served.

        To contribute we will need a picture of that family member, the branch of military, and the dates (or estimated dates) of time served.  You and your child may write a short paragraph about them at home. If you cannot get it completed at home, bring it to school and we will make time here. The pictures and essays will be hanging in the hallway.

        Since last year my brother, Ryan, has been deployed to the Middle East. Following Veterans Day we will begin to write letters and send packages to soldiers stationed overseas. More details about this idea will follow.

        I look forward to collaborating on this project with you and your child!
