WARREN, NJ — Warren elementary students and staff at Angelo L. Tomaso School were encouraged to dress in red, white, and blue on Friday in observance of Patriot Day, the national day of service, and remembrance of Sept. 11.

During the student-led morning news show, a live performance of the Star-Spangled Banner was performed by the school’s music teacher, Ms. Alice Beals.

"Patriot Day is the perfect learning opportunity for our students to show their appreciation for those who serve our community each day," said Principal Christine Smith during the show.

Special guests, Detective Joseph Casorio from the Warren Township Police Department (WTPD), Officer Victoria Ciampa from the WTPD, Dante Verdun from the Washington Valley Volunteer Fire Company, and Daniel Lorimor, retired Police Office and current Security Compliance Manager also dedicated their morning to introducing themselves to the ALT students and describing their role as First Responders.
