Fifth Graders Write Letters to Our Veterans
This year fifth graders wrote 80 letters to our veterans. Bruce Northrup, board member and Treasurer of the Kemper Memorial Park Preservation Fund, distributed the letters on Veterans Day to American Legion Post 90, American Legion Post 347 and the VFW.
The letters came from the 4 fifth grade classes at Murray Avenue School. The teachers Alison Kelly, Aliciane Elkins, Michelle O’Connell and Ethan Rivel coordinated the activity. As Mr. Rivel noted, “We discussed the meaning of Veterans Day and ways we can honor the veterans. Writing letters and cards were our way of saying thank you!”
Our veterans warmly welcomed the letters and were very appreciative of the thoughtful letters the students shared.
