Honoring Our Heroes: Celebrating Veterans Day at Tomlin Prep Academy

At Tomlin Prep Academy, we believe it’s never too early to teach children the importance of gratitude, respect, and service. Every Veterans Day, we take time to honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. Their courage and sacrifice protect the freedoms we enjoy every day — including the opportunity to learn, play, and grow together in a safe and supportive community.

❤️ Teaching Gratitude and Respect

Even our youngest learners can understand the value of saying “thank you.” During Veterans Day week, our classrooms take part in age-appropriate activities that help children recognize and appreciate our nation’s heroes.

From creating thank-you cards and handprint flags to reading stories about community helpers and military families, we encourage children to express gratitude in meaningful ways. These small acts help build empathy, kindness, and a sense of community pride.

🌟 Learning Through Stories and Conversations

We also use Veterans Day as a time to connect learning with real-life heroes. Our teachers share stories that highlight bravery, teamwork, and love for one’s country — values that inspire young hearts to grow with respect and compassion.

If families at Tomlin Prep Academy have veterans in their households, we love to include them in our celebrations! Sharing their experiences and stories helps children understand that heroes are real — and sometimes, they’re right in our own families.

Celebrating Together

Our Veterans Day celebration is a time for reflection and appreciation. We encourage our students to proudly display their art, sing songs, and express thanks to those who have served.

These moments not only honor our veterans but also help our children learn the importance of giving back, being respectful, and showing love for their community.

💛 A Message of Thanks

To all veterans — past and present — we thank you for your service, bravery, and dedication. You are true role models for our children and our nation.From all of us at Tomlin Prep Academy, we honor you today and every day.
