Felicity School decided to incorporate some new traditions to honor local veterans. Our students started the Veteran’s Day unit with a documentary on Monday morning related to the impact of the Vietnam War. Monday afternoon, our art therapist organized a bracelet making activity for a number of students to participate in. In fact, the bracelets that were completed were put into an envelope and sent to the Deerfield VFW along with thank you letters as well as pictures drawn by a few of our students of the American flag.
We concluded the week with a guest speaker from the local VFW. One of our students also brought in some World War II memorabilia to share with the class from his great grandpa’s experience and pass around some of the belongings for others to see.
