Elm Road Honors Local Veterans

Elm Road Elementary held a heartfelt Veterans Day program this afternoon to honor those who have served our country. Veterans who are family members of Elm Road students were invited to sit at the front of the gym, where they were recognized and celebrated by the entire school community.

Students gathered with their classes to perform several patriotic songs in honor of the visiting veterans. Between performances, students had the opportunity to ask questions, learning more about what life is like in the military and the sacrifices that come with service.

The program concluded with a special moment as students related to the veterans presented them with handmade thank-you gifts. Smiles, hugs, and a few tears filled the room as students showed their appreciation to the family members and community members who have served our country.

It was a meaningful afternoon filled with respect, gratitude, and #PHMExcellence in action.
