Lynbrook honors veterans with patriotic ceremonies

Students in the Lynbrook School District honored local veterans with special Veterans Day ceremonies on Nov. 10, bringing students and their loved ones together to recognize and thank those who have served. 

Students at Marion Street, West End and Waverly Park elementary schools welcomed their family members and relatives who are veterans for heartfelt celebrations that included music and gestures of gratitude. Members of the schools’ fifth grade choruses performed patriotic songs, and students stood at podiums to share poems and discuss the different branches of the Unites States Armed Forces. Students who had veteran family members in attendance honored their guest with a gift of flowers. 

Each ceremony provided a meaningful opportunity for students to connect with the stories of those closest to them while gaining a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by the men and women who serve.
