The children and the entire school participated in various activities during the days that led up to Veteran’s Day. 
The first week, November 1 – 4, the children were introduced to clothing, rank badges, pins, awards and equipment used by those in the military.  A memorabilia trunk was shown to the children. The trunk was explored as a teacher directed activity. The children had the opportunity to manipulate, touch, and wear the items. In the hallways, photos were hung from star garland attached to stars exhibiting this year’s district theme:
We Honor, Remember, and Thank You!
Pictures of family members who have or are presently serving in the military were displayed . The children decorated cards that will be included in care packages sent to soldiers in
Iraq and Afghanistan.
