Carter brought home a homework assignment today - two sheets of paper stapled together, one red with a big star outlined in black. The other sheet said:
"Wednesday, November 11th is a day that we are not in school. It is not a day off of school, but rather a day we spend to honor those who are in service for our country or who have served in our armed services to protect and preserve the rights of our great nation.
"Attached to this sheet you will find a star. Please have your child fill in the name or names of people in your family, family friends, or beloved members of your family that have passed, who are veterans.
"Write a bit about what you are thankful for, to the person or persons mentioned on the star. Bring them back and we will build our Veteran's Day Flag!"
I really liked this idea and wanted to share it. Happy Veteran's Day to you and your family members. :)
