This year, Veterans Day, a national holiday celebrated each Nov. 11, falls on a Saturday.

To honor local veterans while students are in school, Marble Falls ISD campuses have scheduled special Veterans Day celebrations this Friday, Nov. 10

The Veterans Day celebrations help deepen students’ civic understanding that Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor all those who served honorably in the United States Military — both in wartime or peacetime.

Veterans Day is largely intended to thank living veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who served—not only those who died — have sacrificed and done their duty.

 

MFISD Veterans Day Celebrations

  • Colt Elementary will have the White Table set up and students will bring in a Paper Brick to honor their favorite veteran. The Colt PTO will create a Veterans’ Wall of Honor at the campus.

  • Highland Lakes Elementary is holding a special presentation for Veterans during their morning Round-Up Nov. 10. HLE Teachers are also honoring Veterans through activities in each grade level classroom.
