Dear SWIS Families,
As Memorial Day approaches, we find ourselves presented with a valuable opportunity to reflect on the true meaning of this important holiday. Memorial Day is more than just a long weekend, it is a time to honor and remember the courageous men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Their bravery and dedication have helped to secure the freedoms we cherish today.
It is so important to teach our children the significance of this day and to instill in them a sense of respect and gratitude for those who have served our country. This holiday is an important reminder of the cost of freedom and the strength and resilience of our community and nation.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the current and former military members within our school community. Your dedication, courage, and sacrifices do not go unnoticed. We are deeply appreciative of the commitment you have made protecting our nation. Additionally, we recognize the families of our military members who also make sacrifices and offer unwavering support. We thank you for your strength and perseverance.
As we observe Memorial Day, let us all take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by our service members and their families. Whether through a moment of silence, participating in community events, or simply sharing stories of heroism and service with our children, we can ensure that their contributions are never forgotten. Freedom is not free.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
Yours in Education,
Dr. Lopez
