Today, our entire school district came together to honor Veterans Day, showing their appreciation for our nation's heroes. At an assembly hosted by CDHS Student Council members, our school community recited the Pledge of Allegiance followed by the 8th grade and high school choirs performing the National Anthem.
Special guest Sergeant First Class (SFC) Carrion delivered an inspiring message on the importance of recognizing and honoring our heroes, leaving everyone with a renewed sense of gratitude and respect for those who serve. That was followed by the CDHS choir singing “God Bless America” and the CDHS band performing, “American Flourish” by Robert W. Smith.
The assembly wasn’t the only way students and staff honored veterans. We shared earlier today how CDIS hosted an assembly last Friday and they also filled their halls with flags and silhouettes of soldiers featuring loved ones who served. Ekstrand Elementary students created pennants with their family members who served on them that were strung together and hung in the “Hall of Heroes.”
The heartfelt artwork, assemblies and other thoughtful projects allowed students of all ages to express their gratitude and gain a deeper understanding of the values veterans embody. Thank you to all who serve and have served, and to everyone who made today a powerful reminder of the service and sacrifices of our veterans.
