Veteran's Day Program

Students participated in a special Veteran's Day Assembly on Friday.  The American Legion Honor Guard began the program by posting the colors.  Students sang a variety of patriotic songs and 4th graders shared poems they had written.


Students spent last week working on their Veteran's Day poems in language arts class.  The following students were voted by their classmates to share their poem at the Veteran's Day program.



On Veteran's Day

On Veteran's Day, we take the time to 
Honor the people we know.
To celebrate the soldiers who fought for our freedom.

On Veteran's Day, we say 
The Pledge of Allegiance and sing 
The Star Spangled Banner 
Because we are proud of what we can do for America.

On Veteran's Day, we say our prayers
For the soldiers who have died
And for the soldiers who are fighting.
Thank you for protecting our country.


Veteran's Day Respect

All soldiers are brave and strong
They fight for our country, they are in it for all.
They stand under the flag red, white and blue.
They fight for everyone including you.
They work for the Army, Navy and others too.
But when it comes to serving, they are the best for you.
They work together to keep our country safe.
They travel the world, but they start at one place.
A place where it is safe, calm and pleasant,
A place where people send you presents.
They leave that place to defend our rights
With courage and bravery, it is sad they have to fight.
So thank you for helping and serving for us.
And for the people we have lost thinking of them is a must.
