The ceremony included a performance of patriotic songs sung by each grade that was very emotional for some veterans and guests.

During a patriotic slide show, the school took the time to recognize those who served in the past and those who are currently serving by having them stand up whenever their service branch was showcased on the screen.

Children handed out thank you cards to show extra appreciation as the song…
