This year, we got Thursday an Friday off of school for Veterans Day. We celebrated the holiday on Wednesday at school. Every student in school made a hand print to make our banner.
The high school band came and played....
The Cub Scouts presented the flag....
They did a great job. They were seasoned pros at raising the flag.
The breeze kicked up just as the flag got to the top of the pole. It was a neat sight. It was calm and quiet, then the flag unfurled and the national anthem was sung. All the adults were wiping their teary eyes afterwards.
Sydney was one of four students picked to read the names of Veterans who could not attend our ceremony. Lots of the names were of Hispanic origin but she did an amazing job pronouncing the names correctly. It was a Veterans Day to remember that's for sure!
The whole school was in attendance. The ceremony lasted a little over an hour. The breeze was cold, the seats were small, but still the kids were reverent and listened, even the kindergartners. Our school did an amazing job, I think the Veterans were really impressed.
Thank you Veterans!
