PATRIOTS DAY

Due to the fact that most schools are not in session to celebrate Independence Day, Patriot’s Day is an excellent time for a school to demonstrate its patriotism. First, give each student a paper red, white, and blue paper flag with lines in which they can write a message. The messages can revolve around a number of themes such as: freedom, democracy, values, etc… Next, gather the inspirational flags from the students and place them around the school. The students enjoy reading one another’s messages and seeing their own message being displayed.

Also on this day, have students write thank you letters to local servicemen and women who are serving our country.  Coordinate the delivery of these letters with local military recruitment offices.
