A few questions to ask your Blue Star about today:
What does it mean to be grateful?
What does it mean to be deployed?
How did we show our appreciation for service members today?
We kicked off our November theme, Attitude of Gratitude, by sharing what we're thankful for and adding leaves to our Service Stars Gratitude Tree. We'll keep adding to our tree each Tuesday throughout November & December.!
Our service project was Operation Gratitude! We learned about deployed service members and how Operation Gratitude helps people show appreciation for those who serve our country. Our Blue Stars created thank-you cards and letters to send to troops, choosing from coloring a card, completing a fill-in-the-blank letter, or writing their own message.
We also read Veterans: Heroes in Our Neighborhood by Valerie Pfundstein and talked about why it's important to recognize and thank veterans.
We're also collecting new socks for veterans receiving care at the VA Hospital in W. Roxbury. If you'd like to participate, you can purchase socks through our Amazon wish list. Every donation helps us spread a little warmth!
Looking ahead: Next week is our Fall Family Service Festival!
Enjoy the pictures!
