In recognition of Veterans Day and to pay tribute to the veterans in the community, Great Neck Road Elementary School held a ceremonial breakfast in the school’s gymnasium on Nov. 8. Special writing was on display throughout the gymnasium to honor the heroes, including acrostic poems, a Wall of Honor and artwork. 

Clad in red, white and blue, students, staff, administrators and Board of Education members welcomed invited guests to the ceremony. Principal Tamika Eason began the celebration by thanking the attendees for their service to our country. Kindergartners waved their flags high in the air during a parade and performed two patriotic songs. The chorus also joined in the musical performances, while fifth graders recited their patriotic poetry.
