Students, families and staff members at Horace Mann recognized and thanked veterans for their service on Wednesday, November 11th. This year's program included the whole crowd singing The Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America, as well as 4th graders providing a color guard. 
More 4th graders did readings, including information about Veteran's Day and some poetry about our feelings for our servicemen and women. Students from 1st and 5th grade made decorations that were hung up here at school to create the right environment. Now that our event is over, the visual art has been delivered to a veteran's hospital for their enjoyment.
PTA was involved this year, too, with a coffee reception for our veterans before the assembly.
Many thanks to everyone who helped make this event a heartfelt occasion, most especially the 24 veterans who attended. We are proud of and grateful for you!
