Weekly Spotlight - Educational Services
Heather Dominguez, Director of Educational Services WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEMORIAL DAY AND VETERANS DAY? On both Memorial Day and Veterans Day, it’s customary to spend time remembering and honoring the countless veterans who have served the United States throughout the country’s history. However, there is a distinction between the two holidays: Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. We spend time remembering those who lost their lives and could not come home, reflecting on their service and why we have the luxury and freedom that we enjoy today. We might consider how we can support and safeguard their grieving families and loved ones who are left behind. Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL who served—in wartime or peacetime—regardless of whether they died or survived. Veterans Day is always observed officially on November 11, regardless of the day of the week on which it falls We are grateful for the service of our men and women of the military.

Weekly Spotlight - LAE
Veronica McGilvery, Principal, Lake Arrowhead Elementary School Lake Arrowhead Elementary has strived to provide our students with engaging “extracurricular” learning opportunities during our unique year of Distance Learning and Hybrid instruction. Teachers worked collaboratively with each other and with community members this past year. Here are a couple of examples that were offered school-wide. LAE held a virtual Read Across America event this year. This annual program immerses students in literacy skills while having fun in a self-competitive format to earn prizes and a “medal.” Many familiar activities from the past were included such as sharing a favorite book or poem and daily reading logs. New activities including calling or zooming to read with someone, creating virtual comics or books to share with their classmates, listening to Dr. Seuss read aloud from LAE and District staff guest readers were added. We even had a Seuss-themed spirit and pride day for the finale! It was a fun week to build our love of learning through reading! Since traditional field trips to support curriculum and standards could not occur, LAE’s first-grade teacher Heather Chavez partnered with The Living Desert to offer “LAE Family Fieldtrip Day” at a discounted price. Families were able to visit the zoo at their own pace and in a self-guided manner. Restaurants, gardens, hiking trails, carousel, and giraffe feeding areas were also open.
