It was an honor to welcome veterans and their families to Pine Bush Elementary School’s Veterans Day Celebration Breakfast!
The morning began with the fifth-grade student council leading the Pledge of Allegiance. This was followed by opening remarks from PBE principal Eric Winter and American Legion Post 1308, who discussed the symbolic importance of the Missing Man Table. The table honors soldiers who have fallen, are missing in action, or are prisoners of war.
After the opening ceremony, our students and staff worked hard to serve a delicious breakfast to our veterans. The breakfast was a powerful demonstration of the school community coming together to show their deep gratitude for the men and women who served our country. In addition to the breakfast, our veterans took home some thank-you letters written by all PBE students.
We thank Ms. Jessica Fobert and our fifth-grade student council members for organizing this incredible event! Thank you to our community partners; Dunkin’ Donuts, Hannaford, Third and Company, the Pine Bush Deli and Pizza, Dr. William Bassett, the American Legion Post 1308, and the Knights of Columbus 5329. Most importantly, thank you to our veterans for your service and sacrifice.
