EECC was buzzing with patriotic pride as they honored veterans last week. Mrs. Robinson’s students led the pledge of Allegiance on Friday morning and sang “My Country Tis of Thee” in honor of Veterans Day. Mrs. Ipach’s class learned about the branches of the service, colored cards to send to local veterans organizations, and honored students’ family members who have served our country. Mrs. Heimeman’s class also honored family members who served in the military as students shared about those family members with their class. These are just a few of the highlights of how students and staff at EECC celebrated and honored our veterans this month.

At Edgewood Intermediate School's Veterans Day event, grandfather David Peterson was using the time to not only join in the festivities but also share photos and stories of the time that he served in the military with his grandson Henry Peterson. Mr. Peterson told me he had pulled the pictures out just recently in preparation for today's visit. The interaction between the two was evidence of a strong bond being formed and the creation of special memories being built.

State Representative Rodney Creech & Ben Thaeler, District Director for Congressman Warren Davidson, joined families, students, board members, and staff at Edgewood Intermediate School for a celebration honoring our area's Veterans. We appreciate their support of our district.
