On Friday, we had a special Veterans' Day program to honor the men and women who serve our country. We were lucky enough to have a special soldier (very recently returned from overseas) come and do an interview for our students (and answer some of their most pressing questions about life in the military)!Personally, my favorite question was when he was asked what we could do to help, his answer was "to show support...whether or not you agree with the politics behind it or what's happening there...support the people who are serving and fighting for our freedom." It reminded me that we can never do this too much, and I really appreciated that answer. In addition to the interview, we learned some important things about how to handle the American flag, recited the Pledge of Allegiance, and enjoyed The Star Spangled Banner sung by our very own Rylee!!!!! (She was fabulous!)
The best part???? The very special soldier is Rylee's dad!!!
