Chapel School First Graders Say Thank You to Veterans

Chapel School First Graders Say Thank You to Veterans

Bronxville, NY- First Graders at The Chapel School were given an important assignment last week. After reading and learning about veterans, each student was asked to bring in the name and address of a relative, neighbor or friend who is a veteran. The students then reported to their class how they know or are related to the veteran, what war they fought in and why they are brave. A lesson in how to handwrite letters results in a thank you note. Each student wrote a letter to thank his/her veteran for their service in the military to ensure our freedom. For the past 12 years, Chapel School first graders have been sending letters to veterans and receiving from them many heartwarming notes of thanks and appreciation.

This Thanksgiving, we have so much for which to be thankful. Let us always remember to include the veterans and those serving today. The Chapel School is a place where service as a way of life is promoted to all students and families. Students participate in Midnight Runs, food collections for ECAP, and other projects to help those in need throughout the school year. Sharing time, talents, and treasures with people in the community and around the world distinguishes The Chapel School as a caring place where God's love is freely shared.
