Why do we get November 11 off from school? BKW’s seventh grade students recently dedicated a day to examining this question.
“In social studies, they learned about the history of Veterans Day and discussed stories about their family, friends and loved ones who served in the military,” said social studies teacher Emily DeNovio.
“In English language arts, the students expressed their appreciation in the form of written letters. They reviewed the appropriate format for friendly letter writing and internalized the importance of showing gratitude for the service of others.”
Student-created artwork also expressed thanks to those who’ve served our country.
