Hicksville Honors Men And Women For Their Service

In commemoration of Memorial Day, Hicksville Public Schools hosted a variety of activities to honor the men and women in the armed services who made the ultimate sacrifice for America.

At East Street Elementary School, students and staff gathered on the front lawn to sing patriotic songs and plant American flags. With parents and community members also in attendance, students also spoke about what Memorial Day means to them. At Hicksville Middle School, the Student Council planted American Flags on the perimeter of the front lawn under the direction of advisers Janice Fitzgerald and Jennifer Presti.
