Veterans Day

I come from an Army family.  My dad was a Major, and my husband and brother were sergeants.  My husband and father were also paratroopers.  Veterans Day is always so dear to my heart as I think about all the men and women who give so much to our country.  As we celebrated at Christie we lined the school with American flags.  Every child in the school put a flag out front to welcome and thank our men and women for their service.  

What a beautiful day to honor our service men and women. We even made cards to send to the troops for Thanksgiving!  4th grade spearheads this effort every year.  Thank you 4th grade!!!

Cans

We have collected 36 cans so far for the canned food drive!  Thank you so much for sending them in.  The kids get so excited when we have more cans to count and the look on their face when they get to add it to the cans is so cool!  We look forward to being able to count many more.
