Children, staff and teachers at the Sixth Grade Academy got the week off to a nice start with a several special celebrations on Monday, which was Veterans Day.
Jacob Furlong, stepson of Mr. Towe and a U.S. Marine for five years, led the school in the Pledge of Allegiance. The school also recognized Mr. Sawmiller, a guest teacher in the building, who is also a veteran.
Five pupils were selected "Students of the Month." They were Chelsea Walkowski (Team Wizard), Walter Kirkpatrick (Team Extraordinaire), Evan Kaplani (Team Awesome Achiever), Robert O'Guin (Team Transformers) and David Retan (Front Office). All of the winners will enjoy a Subway meal for earning their honors.
Mrs. Gherardi read to the children about why America celebrates Veterans Day.
