Valley Stream UFSD Thirteen honored Veterans Day with a heartfelt tribute to those who have served in the armed forces. Students at each school engaged in a variety of educational activities and classroom lessons designed to honor veterans and raise awareness about their contributions to our country.
Students wrote letters to veterans, created artwork, and learned about the history of the holiday. These efforts were designed not only to educate students about the importance of military service but also to foster a sense of gratitude and respect for those who have sacrificed for our freedom.
“At Valley Stream UFSD Thirteen, we believe it is important to teach our students the value of service, sacrifice, and respect,” said Dr. Judith LaRocca, Superintendent of Schools. “By engaging students in these meaningful lessons and activities, we hope to instill in them an appreciation for the dedication of our veterans and a deeper understanding of what Veterans Day represents.”
Acknowledging Veterans Day at Valley Stream UFSD Thirteen was a testament to the district’s commitment to honoring those who have served in the military while providing students with meaningful opportunities to engage in civic learning.
