This veteran stands in honor of his country while our Intermediate Select Choir, flanked on each side by the American and Texas flags, sang patriotic songs during one of this morning’s three performances.
Even though our students had an early release today, this day was filled with unforgettable strands of learning. First thing at 7:45 a.m., our intermediate students viewed a special tribute to Veterans’ Day during Mrs. Nina Peery’s morning announcements in the gymnasium. They were then introduced to Veteran Jeff Bean who served both in the U.S. Marine Corp and the U.S. Armed Forces. Mr. Bean brought with him his service dog, Gordon, and spoke to the students about what it means to serve unconditionally. He spoke to the students about his service to his country and about Gordon’s service to him. This aligned with our character trait, “Service”, and our animal, “Labrador”, of the month. Immediately following, Mrs. Kelly Ritchey’s Select Choir of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders sang patriotic songs in three separate performances. These students and their teacher did an amazing job. Parents were invited to attend. Staff, students, and parents were enveloped in the emotions of the day where we honored our country and those who serve or have served in all branches of our military.
