We had our annual Veterans Day event today, Thursday, Nov. 10 to help student learn about the importance of this holiday and understand why they have school off to observe the day. This year, Mark Ritchey, a retired Army Ranger and current Chicago Police Officer, come speak to our students. Mr. Ritchey taught students about the different branches of the armed forces, explained what he did in the army and gave a brief explanation of what Veterans Day means in America. Students were able to ask some questions to learn more about his experiences.
As apart of the day, students also wrote letters to Veterans thanking them for their service. Students were encouraged to thank Veterans they may know for their service.
