In order to connect with our community, students interviewed family members who were veterans. They gathered information on their branch of service and their time served. Together, students created a timeline to honor Veteran's Day.
We had the amazing opportunity to meet with the mayor of Hagerstown. The students were able to spend about an hour listening to stories and having a question/answer session with the mayor. Activities like this truly give the students a sense of what is going on in their community and how to better connect to it.
