What is a veteran and what is Veteran’s Day? Students from Mrs. Carey’s 5th
grade class spent time interviewing family members, relatives, or family
friends who have either served in a branch of the military or are still
presently serving. They then wrote an
essay and created a visual display honoring that service member. Bridget Manahan, a student in Mrs. Carey’s
class, said it best…….”What does Veteran’s Day mean to you? Honestly, to me it meant, “Yes! We get a day off from school!” But now I know what Veteran’s Day is really
for. It’s for honoring the people who
have served and are still serving to protect our country.”
