An Andrew student visits with a veteran at the annual Veterans Day luncheon. Members of the Student Council and Superintendent Dr. Robert Nolting welcomed the servicemen and women and thanked them for their service and sacrifice.

Carl Sandburg, Amos Alonzo Stagg and Victor J. Andrew high schools each held programs for local veterans, thanking them for their service. Students dined with the veterans, breaking bread and hearing stories of their service and sacrifice. At Sandburg, veterans were treated to a showcase of student talent. At Stagg, students in the elementary education class taught preschoolers a song of thanks, which they performed to a standing ovation. At Andrew, staff from the Hines VA Hospital were on hand to answer questions and provide support to the veterans.
