Veterans Day 2010
Today, we (the boys and girls in Homerooms 235 and 236) celebrated Veterans Day by having 7 Veterans come into our room so we could honor them. The Veterans were grandfathers, uncles, dads, and neighbors of the boys and girls in our rooms. The students did a fantastic job! All week they were making stars, thank you cards, collecting items and writing letters for our adopted soldiers in Afghanistan, practicing a beautiful patriotic song, and preparing for the big day. I was so proud of all of them! The best part of the day though, was the lessons we learned - honor, respect, and volunteerism. Thank you again to all of our Veterans, a special thank you to Holmdel's Mayor Serena DiMaso, for coming in and speaking to us today. Also, thank you to all the parents who donated much needed items to LCPL Michael Bush and his platoon. If you volunteered to mail a box, I will email you when they are ready to go. Thank you!

My father-in-law (Matthew's Pop-Pop) was so touched. Both he and my mother-in-law were raving about the event. I'm sorry I couldn't be there but thank goodness for video. Thanks so much for doing this and creating lasting memories for everyone.
