The Brooklyn City School’s Pre-K through Grade 7 building hosted an assembly last Thursday (November 11) to honor Veterans Day. Local veterans were invited to the assembly to talk to staff members and students.
Kids were asked that if they had any family members who were veterans to make stars that would represent them. Seventh graders and National Junior Honor Society gave presentations about Veterans Day, too.
Pictures were then shown on a slideshow recognizing teachers and students whose family members are veterans. Brooklyn School staff members, who served in a branch of the military, were also recognized and honored.
Tributes were shown along with the famous “Taps” being played by senior Evan Chong and sophomore Zach Messeri.
After “Taps,” music was then played as the audience sang along. Touching speeches were given, and students got the chance to talk to some of the veterans before the conclusion of the assembly.
The Brooklyn City School District would like to thank all of the families and veterans who attended the assembly and to express gratitude for their service.
