Notes Of Appreciation For Our Veterans
Veterans Day is a day used to honor U.S. men and women who served in the armed forces. Hoping to be able to show their appreciation for all those who served, middle school students in Kara Karnes' Geography class took out their scissors and pens and set to work making thank you cards.
Karnes said, "I want my students to understand they can make a difference in this world God has given us by doing simple things that can be a blessing to others and impact their lives and the world in a positive way. Veterans Day is a great way to do this because there are Veterans all around us who we may not even know about."
After completion, the cards made their way to Veterans here at PCA and ECBC, as well as the Fisher House and VA Hospital downtown.
When asked what making these cards meant to him, seventh-grader Sullivan Huempfner said, "my great grandfather, my grandfather, and my father are all Veterans and it's history for our family. We know what it's like to serve our country."
Alyssa Carper added, "[it's important] to show the Veterans we are there for them and their service is very important."
PCA loves our Veterans and we are grateful for Mrs. Karnes and this project helping to bring PCA's foundational mission of love, honor, and obey into action.
