The entire student body of Alberton School held a special Veterans Day ceremony last Thursday in their gymnasium.
“Our TK through 12 graders have all prepared a class presentation or poems or thank you notes. Our band is going to perform as just a way to say thank you to the amazing veterans in the Alberton community and across the nation,” explained Alberton Principal, Chris Whiteman. “We didn’t do this last year and it wasn’t done during Covid, but I was involved in them when I taught in Darby. It’s a great thing and small schools do the best job of it; I’ll just say that.”
Superintendent Damian Droessler welcomed the students, veterans, school administration and parents visiting with a heartfelt message of what veterans have done to protect and defend our country through war and during peace. Everyone rose for the Star-Spangled Banner while the tuba played a part that was unexpected but enjoyed by everyone.
