Lincoln and Harrington Elementary students, parents and community members will come together to honor and remember all those who have fought for our country and those who are currently working to preserve its freedom.

"Our Veteran's Day ceremony will help all individuals to better understand the meaning of this day," said Daphne Hunter, Lincoln Elementary principal. "It will help everyone to recognize the importance of remembering, recognizing and thanking our country's veterans for all that they have done."

Lincoln's ceremony will be held at their flagpole on Friday, November 9th at 9:00 a.m. Dan Pagliasotti will sing the National Anthem, war veteran George Gray will speak and students Nicole Flannery and Elise Matatall will read their original works.

Harrington's program entitled "Celebrate America and Veterans through Music" will be held on Friday, November 9th from 9:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Several veteran organizations will be in attendance for the school's donation of gift certificates to the Veteran's Hospital Nursing Care Unit and Adopt-a Unit program. Some of the school's classes will also sing patriotic songs.
