Fourth graders at Jefferson Elementary honored veterans on Friday afternoon with a program, fifth year for the project at the school.
Students invited family members who have served in the military to the program in the school’s gym. They sang patriotic songs for their guests.
Those who invited guests introduced them to the crowd. Grandparents, parents, cousins and uncles each took a moment to tell students about their time served in the military.
Many veterans brought visuals, such as photos of the Navy ships they served on and their dog tags. This program was to help teach the students about American history and honor those who dedicated their time to the country.
