The History Channel Announces "Take A Veteran to School Day,"
The History Channel Announces "Take A Veteran to School Day," A New
National Initiative
The History Channel has developed a Take A Veteran to School Day
campaign to link veterans of all ages with young people in our schools
and communities. This nationwide initiative will help strengthen ties
in your communities and bring history to life in classrooms. The
History Channel is encouraging educators and parents throughout the
country to organize events at their schools in the weeks leading up to
Monday, November 12th, the official Veterans Day holiday. To learn
more about how to organize a Take a Veteran to School event at your
school or in your community, log on to veterans.com . This
website includes sample agendas, participation forms, colorful
curriculum guides for grades K-12, and background information about
the history of Veterans Day. Sign on to participate by filling out the
participation form in the Teacher Resources section veterans.com
This campaign is not only celebratory or commemorative, there are
clear links to classroom course units and lesson plans. The Story of
Veterans Day – a 25-minute documentary produced in conjunction with
the U.S. Department of Education – is accompanied by a teacher's
guide, has been linked to state standards, and is available on the
website via streaming video. This site also includes oral history
guidelines, links to non-profit organizations, and many other
resources. If you would like any more information, please email The
History Channel Classroom Team at veterans@aetn.com.
