What is Veteran's Day?

On November 11, we celebrated Veteran's day and all that our Veterans have sacrificed for our country. We began the day watching the Wonderopolis Video What is Veteran's Day? to learn about who veterans are and what they sacrificed. 

Here's what one student blogger learned: 

Veteran’s day

Did you ever hear about Veteran’s day? We celebrate on November 11.It is manly about the people that fought in war for our Country, the United States of America. Do you love our Country? I do! What’s your favorite part? What is the state that you live in? What is your favorite city? There are so many answers and quistions to ask about America! Did you ever know that along time ago America used to belong to England? I hope you did. Thank you Veterans for making our country free and safe!

We had a special ceremony from Honor Choir and honored the Veterans from the OES family!

Thank you, Veterans, for all that you have selflessly given for us, our nation, and our freedom!
