Patriotic Pride
By Lee Anne

Clip to ScrapBook   
In addition to holding a Veteran's Day assembly each year, we also do Red, White, and Blue Days throughout the year. We are doing a "Wall of Stars" posting the names of the friends and family of our students who served or are serving in the military on stars in the main lobby of our building.

We usually make Christmas cards to those sailors deployed around the holidays. This year, in light of the attacks on the US, we are writing letters once a month to the servicemen and women to let them know we are thinking of them and supporting them. We will send cards and letters to those overseas and at home.

Finally, for Valentine's Day, we make cards and send them to the local VA hospital as part of the Valentines for Vets program, which I think is national.
