Many thanks to Master-of-Ceremonies and Frankfort-Schuyler Central School District (FSCSD) Superintendent Mr. Joseph Palmer, to the outstanding Frankfort-Schuyler Elementary School Teachers & Staff, and a special THANK YOU to the many exceptional elementary students in pre-K through 6th grades at FSCSD. Your 31st Annual Veteran's Day Program held November 8, 2024 is gratefully appreciated. High competence was also clearly on display by the Frankfort-Schuyler High School Band (under the direction of music teacher Ms. Kathy Donaleski) in their strong and proper instrumental presentation of America's "National Anthem."

Exiting the school following the celebration a small "care-package" was offered to each Veteran, the packet containing a few kind written thoughts from a couple of elementary students. Scans of my packet contents follow:
From Olivia, a presumed pre-K or K student.
WELL DONE AND MUCH APPRECIATED!
Retired friend, teacher, and school adminsitrator Bill Yavornitzki comments "...As a retired educator it makes me proud to see the American story continue. Thomas Jefferson once said 'The role of education is to make responsible citizens.'
ReplyDeleteKudos to those students and educators who demonstrated their love of country and to our local veterans. ♥️"
Another comment from my old shipmate "Ole" -- "...Dave, That was nice of the school to recognize veterans. The cards were interesting as they reflect not only the mood of the classroom but also the home. Very positive."
