Oakwood Students Serenade District 113A School Board
Just in case you missed the Veterans Day ceremony at Oakwood, sit back and enjoy this brief show from students, during a Nov. 20 school board meeting.
A group of students from Oakwood shook off the nerves and stepped up in front of a packed house at the District 113A school board meeting Nov. 20.
The songs were part of a detailed Veterans Day program put on the by the school. The day's activities included students making their own veteran-themed self-portraits and penning letters to veterans. Students were also invited to bring any veterans they knew as guests to an assembly.
"It was an amazing event. I almost cried at one point," said board member Brian Bushnell. "My kids learned more about Veterans Day while preparing for the Veterans Day activities.
"I'm grateful that you took the time to put it on."
