On Thursday, November 9th, Southtowns Catholic School welcomed Newell-Faulkner American Legion Post 880. The Honor Guard stood in front of the school as all of the kids stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance. Mr. Dick Casseri played the official hymn for each branch on his saxophone as each child stood if they had a family member in that branch. After, the students joined the Honor Guard outside for a 21 Gun Salute and the singing of The National Anthem. The school invites family Veterans every year to celebrate Veterans Day, have lunch their student. Mrs. Jennifer Hill's Grade 2 class invited the veterans back to her classroom to interview them. The students left with a promise to thank a veteran this weekend in honor of Veterans Day.
