Willow Springs Elementary Celebrates Veterans' Day with Kindergarteners
The school brought in relatives of the 4-year-old kindergarteners to come in and help with the ceremony.
In honor of Veterans' Day, held its own, personal celebration on Friday to honor relatives of the students in the 4-year-old kindergarten program.
Fathers, grandfathers and uncles all watched the presentation teaching the kids about Veterans' Day before mini American flags were handed out to the children. One by one, the veterans' names were announced, and the students would take their flag, give it to their relative and sit on his lap.
While a patriotic song was playing in the gymnasium, all the children stood and waved their flags above their heads. Then, all at once, the children chimed, "Thank you!" to the veterans.
