FROM MR. ORTMAN and MR. MURTHA
We had an opportunity to recognize our Veterans of military service on this Veteran's Day, holding a school-wide assembly to honor 21 special visitors, erecting our Veteran's Day Wall of Honor, having students write letters of appreciation to our Veterans, and conducting a variety of classroom activities focused on Veteran's Day. As adults, we understand the importance of showing our appreciation for the service of our military Veterans and the many sacrifices they made in service to our country and working to protect our freedom. We also believe that, as adults, it is our responsibility to get our youth involved in celebrating, recognizing, and thanking those who have given so much to us. A huge thank you to our many teachers who incorporated Veteran's Day into their instruction and especially to Ms. Regec and Ms. Cocca, who coordinated our Veteran's Day Assembly!
The most thanks, however, goes out to our military Veteran's... especially those who are part of our greater Mill Creek Community!
