Many people confuse Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Do you know the difference? Memorial Day is a day for remembering and honoring those who died serving their country. On a Veterans Day we thank and honor those who served in the military. Veterans Day is observed on November 11th of each year. This day used to be called Armistice Day. What can you do on Veterans Day?
Thank You PTA! Our PTA has done a spectacular job this year organizing events and fund raisers for Otsego. We would like to extend our gratitude to all of the parent volunteers especially……

Parent Talk Why Veterans Day?
* Draw a picture about Veterans Day * Make a card to thank veterans. You can send your card to a local VA Medical Center. * Ask your teacher to invite veterans to your classroom. You can learn a lot from your guests! * Have your school make a poster with the names (and pictures) of relatives and friends who are veterans.

Why Veterans Day?
On November 11, 1918, an agreement ended the fighting of World War I. The agreement was called an "armistice." The world hoped that World War I was the war that would end all wars, so November 11 soon became known as "Armistice Day." On that day, many nations remembered their soldiers who fought in World War I. Sadly, World War II began less than 20 years after, and even that wasn't the end of war. So in 1954, to make November 11 a holiday to remember all of the brave soldiers who help to preserve freedom for Americans and people all over the world, America's Armistice Day was renamed "Veterans Day."
