Thank You to Our Veterans
More than 50 Veterans and their families joined us for a special Veterans Day Celebration last Thursday. Veterans enjoyed a blessing at a mass, followed by a patriotic performance by the St. Anastasia Royal Ram Band, breakfast and packages filled with cards, letters and notes of thanks. A BIG thanks to the Student Government for decorating, serving and hosting the ceremony. Additionally, one of our first-grade teachers, Mrs. Bush, created a video presentation featuring the students and patriotic music that brought tears to the eyes of many veterans that were present.
