What does Memorial Day mean to you? It could mean parades, fun and a day off from school. But that’s not what it’s all about. Memorial Day remembers all the men and women that died for us in the U.S. Military!

That is why at our school the sixth graders write an essay on what Memorial Day means to us. There is a contest, and if you win, you read it aloud at the Memorial Day ceremony. Also, there is an option of memorizing poems based on Memorial Day. Again if you’re recitation gets picked out of the entire grade you get to say it in front of the people at the Memorial Day ceremony. The poem is “Flanders Field”. 

  Hope to see you there!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!
