Woodside School Celebrated Veterans in the Peekskill Schools
Kindergarten classes at Woodside Elementary School received a very personal introduction to the meaning of Veterans Day this year. Teachers Camille Colombini and Ruth Dykstra (shown right) worked with their classes to create bulletin boards honoring members of the Woodside family who serve or have served in the military. And teachers Karen Wallis, Gloria Cordova, Therese Wood and their students created an interactive PowerPoint explaining the Pledge of Allegiance and then invited veterans to share their stories at a special assembly at Woodside. You can see the assembly through a video from The Daily Peekskill, here.
