Veteran's Day

Today, I was able to do something extra special. I have a student whose dad has been deployed in Afghanistan since earlier this year. Today, he came back home!

The students had a holiday, but the teachers had a professional development day. This afternoon, we lined the street by our school and welcomed him home as he arrived from the airport. Neighborhood kids made signs and posted them along the route. It was amazing to see such a sense of community and unity, and I can honestly say I'm thrilled to be apart of it!

So thank you to those near and far who serve so we can live free.
