LES Salutes Soldiers 
Lawrenceville Elementary School (LES) teamed with Applebee's to salute soldiers and thank them on Veterans Day for protecting our freedom. Children created cards, and decorated and signed a banner with words of thanks for the soldiers' service. Applebee's offered all veterans a free lunch from a selected menu and a "thank you" note from the children of LES on Veterans Day. Banner will be displayed at the restaurant.
Pictured: Students from Beth Strauss' third grade LES class who created cards and helped with the banner for Veterans Day. Adults from left to right are Theresa Mudry, kitchen manager from Applebee's; Beth Strauss; and Denise Barash, teaching assistant.
