Meramec Gives Veterans the Red Carpet Treatment
Meramec Elementary rolled out the red carpet for some very special veterans on Thursday, Nov. 9, in honor of Veterans Day. Students invited the veterans to join them for “Courageous Cookies and Coffee” before walking the red carpet in the school’s gym for the annual Veterans Day assembly.
At the assembly, Meramec Counselor and Veteran Anthony Henderson spoke to students about what it means to serve and how they can help others through service. The students also learned about the different branches of the military. The assembly concluded with the students’ thank you song to the veterans in attendance.
Following the assembly, the veterans joined their Meramec students in class to share the highlights of their time in the military.
