I am very thankful for those who have answered the call when America needed them. I thank those who have defended her name and assisted others who needed her arms, both here on our shores and abroad. I am grateful for everyone's service whether a person picked up a weapon or a scalpel or served at home by assisting in a scrap drive or welding and riveting the hull of a ship. My hope is to inspire within my students a gratitude that can never be repaid but can be eternally expressed. I am proud of the efforts that my students put into their work and proud of the way that our school gives thanks to all of our veterans.
Our elementary students worked on creating placemats for each of the veterans that we served and the high school students worked on the wall art. Each elementary student wrote a letter to a veteran and incorporated that into their placemat. Each veteran was welcome to keep the placemat that they received. I am proud that so many of the veterans that we served were touched by the letters and the artwork, and were honored to be able to keep their placemat that a student had created. Each high school student created a patriotic artwork that would be displayed on the walls. Each work was unique and honored those it was made for.
