On November 11 the children of Mrs. DeFrancesco's third grade class lead a prayer service honoring all the men and women who served in the armed forces to protect our country. Mrs. DeFrancesco's and the third graders should be commended on the excellent job they did. Below we have included some of the readings that were performed at the prayer service. We hope you take the time to read about the history of Veterans' Day and the poems “Flag of the Free” and “The Strangest Dream.”
