I just wanted to say what a wonderful veterans day program we had today. What an awesome feeling it was to sit among "heros."
You know, education is not always reading and arithmetic, but it is just as important to teach a child what patriotism stands for and how important it is to be patriotic. A simple Thank You to our veterans means that what they did for us does not go unnoticed. The band playing "America the Beautiful" and the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" brought complete silence and focus on why we were here today. I am proud that our children are being taught the importance of "veterans day." Watching the entire student body stand up and sing the national anthem was incredible.
