So Grateful...

A very deep and heartfelt thank you to all of the self sacrificing men and women who have courageously served the cause of peace and freedom in honor and patriotism...we salute your bravery!

In my art classes this week, for the first time ever, many of my students were requesting that we draw a picture for Veteran's Day. I thought it so wonderful that they were learning about this very special holiday in their home rooms. Usually during this time of year we are easing our way into Thanksgiving with Native American artwork, Cornucopia's and the like, and I wasn't prepared for this...next year will be different. I'm so proud of them for wanting to honor the Veteran's with their artwork, and of our schools for teaching them so clearly what this holiday truly means. It touched my heart.
