The Veterans Day celebration on Nov. 7 at Oquenock Elementary School was filled with emotion, gratitude and pride as students and staff came together to honor those who have served our country. Approximately 34 veterans attended the heartfelt event, which featured performances by the school’s band, choir, and orchestra. Ms. Berger’s kindergarten class shared a special presentation, and the National Anthem was beautifully performed by fifth grader Liliana Young. 
Throughout the school, colorful student artwork decorated the halls, creating a festive and patriotic atmosphere. A special thank you to the PTA for their efforts. In the spirit of giving back, Ms. Bolin also led a schoolwide collection of items for the Stockings for Soldiers initiative, extending the celebration’s message of appreciation to service members currently deployed.
