Thursday Nov 11 Veterans Day - No School

Thursday November 11th is Veterans Day.



The Adult School and all other schools will be closed on this day. Federal buildings, banks, post offices, and government buildings will also be closed.

On this day we honor military veterans - people who serve or served in the military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines).

Serve - present tense

Served - past tense

We use the verb "serve" for many things in English - for being in the military , for working in the government, for working in restaurants as a waiter or waitress, and for sports (tennis, volleyball, etc.). We also use it to talk about helping others.

Where and how do you serve the community, your home country, or the United States?

Is service important to you?

How about military service?

You can read more about Veterans Day here and here.

Note: There WILL be school on Friday November 12th.

Will - the future of the verb "to be."

The teachers will not be at school on Thursday November 11th but they will be there on Friday the 12th.

Will you?
