Dear Clermont Community,
Clermont will be hosting our annual Veterans Day Celebration on Friday, November 8, from 9:15 am – 10:45 am.
For Veterans Day, Clermont takes the opportunity to expose our students to what it is like to be a part of the United States Military. Currently, we do not have enough speakers for all of our classes, and we would appreciate your help getting the word out! If you have any active duty or retired service members in your life who would like to speak to Clermont students, please RSVP HERE, or by emailing Emily Hobson at EEHobson@fcps.edu & Heather Raph at HLRaph@fcps.edu.
One of our goals is to provide an opportunity for students to thank Veterans and understand why we celebrate Veterans’ Day while creating meaningful interactions for students and veterans. Another goal is to expose our students to what life as an active service member might look like.
Some ideas to talk about with students:
- Share why you joined the service
- Bring in an artifact to share (students LOVE the artifacts!)
- Share a short story of your time in service
- Share a favorite memory or experience
- Share what you like best or your biggest challenge
- Share what you’re most proud of etc.
- We can also recommend and provide a story for you to read aloud connected to military life
Prior to presentations, all presenters and Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, and Retired Service members, are invited to join us for light breakfast in your honor!
