Veterans’ Day Celebration

10/24/2023 8:43 am

All Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, and Retired Service members, please join us for light breakfast treats, with your spouse and Clermont children, to honor you!  

When: Nov. 10th, 8:15-9:00 am

Where: Clermont Elementary School Cafeteria

Bring your Clermont student and enjoy light refreshments together with Ernie the Eagle and more!

Afterwards, from 9:05-9:35, we’re hoping you will join classrooms to share a little bit about military life. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for students to better understand why we celebrate Veterans’ Day while creating meaningful interactions for students and veterans.

Some ideas:

  • Share why you serve
  • Bring in an artifact to share
  • Share a short story of your time in service
  • Share a favorite memory or experience
  • Share what you like best or your biggest challenge
  • Share what you’re most proud of etc.

Also, we can provide a story for a read aloud connected to military life
