Carson City students recognized and honored military men and women Wednesday morning with Veteran’s Day displays and events. Veterans from all branches of military service, as well as families of students, were encouraged to attend.

Bordewich Bray Elementary School students and staff honored veterans by saying the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a patriotic song. Students also gave veterans personalized cards, letters and patriotic messages.

Carson Middle School hosted a Veteran’s Salute Concert in front of the school. The school’s choir performed a selection of patriotic songs to thank the brave men and woman who have formerly or currently serve in the U.S. military. A regimented sign display on the school’s front lawn also honored current and former military personnel.

“Providing students with opportunities to recognize the sacrifices others make is highly beneficial at both school and at home,” said Richard Stokes, superintendent. “Appreciation is not a difficult skill to execute. Patriotic events and displays like these fill many with gratitude, which in turn makes us happier, more likeable and healthier.”
