Preschool
Veterans Day is the time where we honor and give thanks to those who have served or are serving in the military. Preschoolers had a special visit from Christine Smith (Oliver and Noah’s mom) in her Navy dress blues. She talked to the class about her uniform and ribbon awards that she has received. Christine also demonstrated how to fold the very large flag into a triangle by using 13 folds. The kids really enjoyed her presentation as well as the teachers! Thank you so much for serving our country.
Pre-Kindergarten
The Pre- Kindergarten classes were honored to have our very own. Petty Officer First Class Christine Smith visit us in our classroom in celebration of Veterans Day. Petty Officer First Class Smith joined in 2011, the United State Navy Reserves. She was stationed in Washington DC and worked for 3 years at DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) as well as in Washington State in Naval Air Station Whidbey Island working for Wing 10 under MTOC (Mobile Tactical Operational Command). We are privileged to have Mrs. Smith on our staff as our Admissions/Public Relations Coordinator. Thank you for your service Petty Officer First Class Christine Smith and all the men and women that have and continue to serve our country.
Kindergarten
The Kindergarten students learned that Veterans Day annually falls on November 11th and that it is to honor our veterans and to thank them for risking their lives to keep us safe and free in the United States of America. On Tuesday November 12th we were lucky enough to have our very own Veteran, Ms. Christine Smith talk to us about the proper way to fold the American Flag.
Grade 3
On Thursday November 7th, Christine Smith, our admissions and public relations coordinator, came in her Navy blues to show the third graders how to properly fold a flag. We also learned about her uniform and why we celebrate Veterans Day. Great job, third graders!
