Bayport-Blue Point Schools Honor Veterans

Throughout the Bayport-Blue Point School District students and staff members took time to pause and honor the nation’s veterans during special ceremonies and events this November.

During their schoolwide assembly, Academy Street Elementary School focused on the meaning behind the national holiday and several important facts surrounding the day. Students learned about the mission of the Honor Flight, an organization that transports veterans to the WWII memorial in Washington D.C., while several students spoke about the meaning behind the national holiday and each branch of the military.

Additionally, the school presented Concerned Living, an organization that has built apartments to house homeless Veterans, with hundreds of household items the school collected during a building supply drive.
