Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a time for us to honor and appreciate those who have served. For one day, we stand united in respect of our veterans.

This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country's service and was originally called Armistice Day. It fell on November 11 because that is the anniversary during World War I when the armistice between the allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to "Veterans Day" to account for all veterans in all wars.

TCS will honor veterans this Friday with a school wide assembly in the morning, showing our pride by wearing red, white and blue.
