Observing Veterans Day

Several teachers throughout the district create lesson plans that help students understand why we observe Veterans Day. At the elementary level, students decorate flags, create cards, and discuss what a veteran is. Some students express that they have family members who serve or have served. At the junior high level, students learn how Veterans Day came to be and what it symbolizes. They discuss the importance of this day and partake in making cards for the VA Hospital in Syracuse. They also watch a video explaining the Changing of the Guards and its significance. For the past few years, the eighth grade has also had the privilege of being visited by Tully alumni, Lieutenant Deal, who created a presentation to help students make a real-world connection if they don’t already have one. Students in both the elementary school and the JSHS who partake in FFA or Interact Club help with pie making, which are then delivered to veterans in our county. We love that our students are partaking in the observance of Veterans Day and hope they continue to do so in the community. Tully CSD thanks all of our active/inactive members of the military and we want to humbly thank you for your service!
