Make no-school on Veterans Day

 

The purpose is to have all schools in Minnesota make a mandatory no-school day on Veterans Day (November 11). Having no

school on this day will allow students to learn about and honor the military and the sacrifices they have made for this

country.

 

Veterans day is a time where people should stop what they're doing and reflect on the true sacrifice, bravery, and

dedication men and women have done for this country. These veterans have risked their lives so that we can be happy and

do the normal things we do each day. But yet most students don't even get the chance to do so because they are stuck in

school the whole day. that is why I am proposing that schools will take one of the existing days students already have

off and replace one of them on November eleventh, Veterans Day. this will also be good because instead of having the day

off being placed on a random Monday or Friday it will be placed on a day with meaning and purpose. I recognize some

schools already have this day off, but not all of them which leaves many students without the chance to celebrate these

true veterans.Having the day off will allow students go spend time with family or served and learn about what these

veterans have gone through. This is not just a bill so students can get the day off of school this is a bill that will

spread awareness to students across Minnesota the honor, bravery, sacrifice, and importance of these veterans and what

they have been through.

 

Veteran: A person who has served in the military.

 

no funding needed

 

The enforcement would be like any other holiday or no school day the board would just simply have to mark it as no

school on the calendar.
