Celebrating Veterans

11/12/2015

Veterans Day at Eaglebrook is a school day. During the day, the students wear formal dress and include a poppy on their jacket lapel, as a symbol of remembrance. Money donated for the poppies will go to groups that support veterans. The day began, as it always does, with an assembly. This year Mr. Alex Edwards spoke to the students about the importance of this day, ending with a poignant thought about war. Watch that here. Watch the full assembly here.

Earlier in the month, Mrs. Emily Luker led a Saturday morning activity for students to write thank you cards to Veterans. She mailed the finished cards to a local chapter of the VFW to be distributed on Veterans Day. See photos of the students and their cards here. It was important to spend this day together at school, thinking about all that veterans have done for us and being grateful for their efforts.
