What does Veteran's Day mean to you? These four BES students did AMAZING reading their essays to the whole student body today during our Veterans Day Program. We are proud of you!
Today at BES, we had the honor of recognizing the brave men and women who have served — and those who continue to serve — our nation with courage, dedication, and sacrifice. Four of our students shared their heartfelt Veterans Day essays, Ms. Price beautifully sang the National Anthem, our 4th graders performed inspiring songs, and Mr. Bill Edwards spoke about his experiences as a Marine. We are so grateful to all veterans for their service — thank you for protecting our freedom!
