I, for one, think it's good thing.
My conscience is stricken realizing that today would have been like any other day off if they had not gone to school.
Our children need to be taught to honor those who have served our country in the armed forces.
At my daughter's elem. school they have a wall plastered with little posters listing the names of veteran's our children know. Haley's poster lists "Grandpa", James P. Loghry, U.S. Air force ; "Poppa", Dorris Rushing, U.S. Navy; and uncle , Donald E. Loghry, U.S. Coast Guard. These are only a few that we could have named. Maybe next year our list will be longer.
The school will have other activities to help our children celebrate the veterans. They all went to school wearing red, white and blue. Haley felt proud to wear the colors.
Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! I'm glad you could be with family! You always make me miss New England by mentioning various places. :) I am thankful to have had two days at home in a row! I have been able to catch up on rest, laundry, ironing (3.5 hours!), and being with the kids. I guess we are on to December next!
ReplyDeleteHeather -- can you watch Downton Abbey on pbs.org? That is how we will watch season 3. It comes on tv on Sunday evenings but we watch it online anytime after that Sunday that the episode airs. The first episode of Season 3 should be available online this Monday.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear other's have read the Hills is Lonely. It is not the easiest read but should prove interesting. I have not read that book of Jan Karon's.....
ReplyDeleteHi Heather!!! yes, isn't Attic24 inspiring!!!! And you did a wonderful job with your fall wreath. I'm so excited for Attic24 to have her own studio now! Wouldn't that be fun! I hope spring arrives soon!
ReplyDeleteOh Heth - -Do people call you that? My Mom does.
