Port Chester students show appreciation for veterans

In honor of Veterans Day,Port Chester Middle School students visited with veterans to deliver Veterans Day cards to the VA Hospital in Montrose.

Eight students were selected by their teachers as being model citizens with an interest in social studies. Students were selected from each grade to visit the Veteran's Day Celebration at the VA Hospital.

There was a special celebration to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War 1. Students handed out several hundred thank you cards, written by them and their fellow students, to thank the veterans who attended the ceremony as well as throughout the hospital.

Students also helped to organize the food pantry and took part in a tour of the hospital and its facilities. They were accompanied by Principal Pat Swift, Social Studies Department Chairperson Chris Halstead, and 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher Dan Doherty.

Meanwhile, the Social Studies Department put together the “Picture Wall of Veterans” in our main lobby that is pictured here. Students and staff were invited to submit a copy of a veteran's picture along with information about them and their service to our country.

Just when we thought our kids couldn't make us prouder. Thank you to all our veterans for their service!
