New Central hosted their annual Veterans' Day Celebration. Local veterans and active service members were invited to New Central for a program honoring our military. Attendees introduced themselves and told students the branch of the military they served in as well as the time and places they served. Students sang songs to the veterans and 4th graders read their tributes. At the end students greeted the guests and gave them hand-made momentos. Thank you, veterans and active members for your service!!
New Central is all decked out to honor our veterans and military service members.
Reminder: No school this week on Tuesday, 11/8 (Election Day) and Friday, 11/11 (Veteran's Day).
