About:
In honor of Veterans Day, students in both social studies and family and consumer science classes at Deer Park High School and Robert Frost Middle School created heartfelt thank you messages for military veterans on red, white and blue cards. Many students gave personal thanks to friends and family members who have served. The cards were then put on display in cases in the lobbies of both schools. The high school’s display was assisted by members of the Patriot Club.
“We often take for granted the freedoms and protections we have as United States citizens,” said Vanessa Langdon, Deer Park’s curriculum associate for secondary social studies and FACS. “Veterans Day reminds us to reflect on the sacrifices that have been made, and continue to be made, to ensure our liberty.”
