Veteran's Day Celebration

Fifth grade student leaders from Elmwood Elementary School participated in a very meaningful ceremony which took place earlier in the week at Jennings Home as part of their annual Veteran’s Day celebration. Integrally involved with the ceremony itself, these Elmwood students, known as “ambassadors,” carried flags representing the various branches of the armed forces and hoisted them during the flag raising ceremony at the pole in front of the Jennings Home campus. From there, each fifth grade student had the opportunity to read aloud a special and personally-written statement of gratitude expressing their appreciation for the sacrifices of the men and women who were veterans in the audience.

In total, nearly 200 people participated in this ceremony and the Elmwood student ambassadors did a fantastic job of representing the Garfield Heights City Schools. Thank you to Ms. Jen Huncharek for her leadership of the student group and to Jennings Home for allowing our students to contribute to this yearly patriotic and solemn ceremony.
