Honoring Our Heroes: Veterans Day at Grant D. Morse Elementary
Students proudly walked in alongside family members who have served, while the American Legion Color Guard Post 72 led the presentation of colors. Grade 4 students filled the room with patriotic songs, and Grade 2 students showed their appreciation by hand-delivering homemade poppies to our honored guests.
Principal Kristina Giangreco shared words of gratitude, the importance of serving others, and sacrifice, tying into the November word of the month: empathy. We’re grateful for this special gathering that helped our students connect with our veterans’ legacy of courage and compassion.
