Eighth Graders Honor Veterans During Assembly

Eighth grade students at Albert G. Prodell Middle School participated in a Veterans Day assembly honoring the men and women who have served our country. The assembly began with a student performance of the National Anthem. Following, veterans with connections to the SWR community shared their personal journeys, including what inspired them to join the military and some of their experiences while serving. Students also had the opportunity to ask questions and learn firsthand from the veterans’ stories. The assembly provided a meaningful opportunity for students to gain a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices and service of our nation’s heroes.
