Dear Families,
Thursday morning we celebrated Veterans Day at school. Part of the celebration was a song, sang by the children. It touched my heart and made me realized how fortunate we are to enjoy freedom in our country. See below the lyrics of this beautiful song, hopefully you can sing it at home, in honor of our Veterans.
Thank a Veteran
For the freedom to go anywhere you want without fear
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran
For the freedom to choose what you read and write and what you hear
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran
For the freedom to select the church that you wish to attend
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran...
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran
Fighting so courageously for our life and liberty...
For the freedom to speak freely and protest the government
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran...
For the freedom to pick leaders who will represent your voice
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran...
This day and every day, thank a veteran
This day…and every day…thank a veteran

Native American Heritage Month
Native American Heritage Month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native Americans. It is also a time to raise a general awareness about the unique challenges they have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges.
