Kujawa Elementary School Salutes Veterans

Disponible en: Español

Members of Kujawa Elementary School’s third and fourth grade Honor Choir under the direction of Sam Tate performed patriotic songs November 8 to honor those who have served and are currently serving our country.

During the performance, a slideshow presentation honored Kujawa Elementary parents, faculty and community members who are veterans. In a gesture of respect, students saluted the veterans present at the event.

Principal Debera Thomas stated, “One of the most powerful and emotional moments for me was when the students sang ‘If You’re Reading This’ while pictures of veterans were displayed in the background. Several parents had tears of joy and pride. It was a great performance by our students.”

Students constructed a Veterans Wall of Honor at the campus. The wall showcases images of the men and women who have fought for our country. Additionally, students created posters, which were displayed outside the school, to bring awareness about the importance of Veterans Day as well as a show of appreciation for the sacrifices made by veterans.

“This is an important program that we present each year because we must be proud of the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted,” expressed Tate. “Our students need to know that we have these freedoms because of the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for those freedoms.”
