Saluting Our Heroes at Andrew Muller Primary School

Mrs. Shaw’s second grade class in Miller Place School District’s Andrew Muller Primary School recently opened its doors to United States military veterans to thank them for their service. After the students and military veterans began the day by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, the class’s special guests then taught the students about the importance of respecting the flag as a symbol of America and the freedoms they enjoy daily. The second grade students and military veterans then read “Veterans Day,” by Jessica Hawkins, before each child shared a specific freedom he or she felt fortunate to have and explained why.

At the end of the day, the students presented the military veterans with letters of appreciation and then saluted the heroes.
