Today is Veterans Day in the United States. We do have school on this holiday, but we also take the time to honor those who have served in the armed forces to protect and defend our country. This morning we boarded busses for a short ride to Saint Albans, and joined other nearby schools for a short ceremony. Students had a large part in the ceremony and each school got to choose one speaker. Morgan, an 8th grade student here at Georgia School gave an excellent speech. Our teachers and students were invited by a school in Saint Albans that did much of the orgainizing to make it all happen. November is normally a cold and gray month here with rain and sometimes even snow. Today the weather was perfect, bright sunshine and blue sky! The event was a great way to thank our veterans for their service and remember the sacrifices they have made throughout our history.
