In honor of Veterans Day, Gary D. Wright Elementary School engaged in a variety of activities to learn about Veterans Day while recognizing and giving thanks to those who served and are currently serving in the United States military. On this day, our students and staff wore red, white, and blue. We had a special morning announcement. Students read text about Veterans Day, interviewed relatives who were in the military, created books about Veterans Day, and even gave presentations to the class. Perhaps most special, this year, we were able to honor Gary D. Wright Elementary School's Third Grade Teacher, Mr. Vital. Prior to serving as an educator, Mr. Vital served 31 years of active duty in the United States Air Force, where he earned the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. The students and families of Mr. Vital's Third Grade Class helped to recognize him by decorating his classroom and making heartfelt projects to present to him on Veterans Day. We are thankful for Mr. Vital and all veterans for their service and their sacrifice.
