Third-graders and teachers used the Nov. 11 Norwalk City School District Board of Education meeting to mark Veterans Day with readings and short presentations.
At the start of the Nov. 11 meeting, a teacher identified as missus Smith introduced students from Club Elementary; second grader Brodie Smarr read a poem thanking veterans for “keeping us safe on every side,” and student Brooke Siedel explained why poppies are worn to remember those who fought in World War I. A group of Pleasant Elementary third graders also addressed the board, explaining what a veteran is and offering thanks for military service.
The presentations emphasized gratitude and civic education. “We are third graders at Pleasant Elementary. Today, we want to thank and honor all the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces,” a student said during the segment.
Board members and the superintendent thanked the students and veterans in attendance and recognized the districtwide Veterans Day programming held earlier that day. There were no formal votes associated with the educational-spotlight portion of the meeting.
The presentations were made at the opening of the agenda and provided context for the board’s regular business that followed.
