This week we learned all about Armed Forces Day. First, we read a News-2-You story about the holiday and answered some questions about what we read. This helped us to identify the 4 military branches. We also learned how to salute the soldiers and to tell them thank you for their service. We learned that these people and their families sacrificed a lot to fight for our freedom.

After we read about Armed Forces Day, we made cards for all of the Salisbury Middle Staff members who have served in the armed forces. We went around the school to deliver the cards. We visited Mr. Coalter, Mr. Evans, Mr. Cushman, Ms. O'Neal, Mrs. Bowie, and Mr. Williams. They were all so appreciative of the cards! We also mailed some cards to the Paralyzed Veterans of America to thank them for their service.
