A wide range of Veterans Day activities have been taking place this week to honor and appreciate those who served.
Students at all grade levels are learning about Veterans Day to remember the sacrifices, the service with honor, and the dedication of those who serve, as well as those who love and support them.
In addition to academic lessons, here are some of the ways that Ray-Pec students and schools are recognizing Veterans Day:
- Breakfasts for veterans and special guests at Creekmoor Elementary, Peculiar Elementary, Timber Creek Elementary, East Middle School, South Middle School, Ninth Grade Center, and Ray-Pec High School.
- Presentation of a small gift or flowers to veterans at some schools.
- Tribute videos at Shull Early Learning Center and most elementary schools.
- Assemblies and musical performances at each elementary school and each middle school.
- Yard signs thanking veterans at Shull Early Learning Center and Ray-Pec Success Academy.
- A Wall of Honor display at Eagle Glen Elementary School.
- A "Change Wars" fundraiser sponsored by the South Middle School Student Council to benefit the VA Hospital.
- Recognition of staff members who are veterans.
- Artwork on the walls at multiple schools.
- Lessons at many schools about American's White Table (also known as the Missing Man Table).
- Viewing of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier video by students at Ray-Pec Academy.
Thank you, veterans, for your service!
