The month of November is significant for three important events - Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, and American Education Week. November 14-20 will be the 89th annual obserance of American Education Week.
Eighty-nine years ago, in 1921, the American Legion and the National Education Association created American Education Week to raise support for quality education and provide a time to salute our public schools and the people who work in them.
With this important week upon us, I would encourage everyone to come and visit the Dell Rapids Schools during American Education Week and see today's schools, students and educators in action. Schools are public enterprises and they need parents, grandparents, churches, business leaders, civic groups and everyone to support and lend a caring hand. Your time and your talents are needed!
CONGRATULATIONS to all of those people who work in education and with our children.
