Members of Woonsocket’s American Legion carry the flags as the Color Guard for the Veterans Day program at Woonsocket School on Monday. From left to right are: Joel Rassel, Steve Tornow, Duane Peterson and Agapito Aviles.

On Monday, Nov. 11, Sanborn County’s schools held their Veterans Day programs to thank and honor veterans in the community. Both programs were well-received by the veterans and community members in the audiences. 

Sanborn Central’s Student Council put together an amazing program held Monday morning. David Steele, a social sciences teacher and advisor for the student council, opened the ceremony with a welcome, followed by “The Star-Spangled Banner” sung by Jennifer Karlen, band instructor. 

Woonsocket School held their annual Veterans Day program in the afternoon. The gym was festively decorated with student art in red, white and blue. The program began with the presentation of the colors by the Woonsocket American Legion Post 29. The crowd was welcomed by the sixth-grade class who organize the program each year. The Woonsocket High School band, led by director Jennifer Karlen, played “The National Anthem.”

Sanborn Central and Woonsocket Schools’ Veterans Day programs were full of wonderful addresses, music and demonstrations to show all the veterans the gratitude they deserve.

To follow up our adventures in grades three through five, we decided to do a service project at the Prairie View Healthcare Center to give to the residents. Since we still had money left over from the fundraiser we did to go to “The Wild Robot” movie at the theater last month, we met as a group and brainstormed how we could use the funds to help our community. The money came from the community, so we wanted to give back to the community. We came across an idea from a video series called “On the Road with Steve Hartman” in which he travels and finds stories of kindness and good deeds in a variety of ways. This particular video featured a girl who began a charity called “Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents.” The girl decided to ask residents at her local nursing home what they wanted that would bring them some joy and then decided to grant their wishes. So, we decided we could follow Ruby’s example and bring this idea to our own nursing home. The students were broken into groups, we conducted the interviews and had some wonderful visits with the residents, and then we brought some of their wishes to them. It was a wonderful experience to be able to give to these fantastic people and to get to know these residents. This adventure brought many smiles from all involved and the students loved having the opportunity to give rather than receive. Now we go back to the drawing board to find another adventure in giving with the remainder of our leftover funds!
