Honoring Our Veterans – November 11

Each year on Veterans Day, our nation pauses to recognize the courage, dedication, and sacrifices of the men and women who have served in uniform.

At the Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools, we honor and thank all veterans — and their families — for protecting the freedoms we hold dear.

As we commemorate this important day, we encourage our schools, families, and community members to take a moment to reflect, give thanks, and honor those who have served our country with distinction and courage.

Ideas for Classroom and Home

• Letters to Veterans: Encourage students to write thank-you notes or create digital messages of gratitude.

• Explore History: Use Britannica School or ProQuest to research Veterans Day, local veteran stories, and the role of service in civic life.

• Read and Reflect: Select a TumbleBooks story that highlights kindness, courage, or community service, and use it to start a class discussion.

• Acts of Service: Inspire students to give back — small acts of kindness and community support honor the spirit of Veterans Day.

Thank You to Our Veterans

This Veterans Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to the veterans in our community, in our schools, and across the nation.
Your service inspires us to continue to Lead, Learn, and Grow with purpose, gratitude, and unity.
