In honor of Veterans Day, our students and teachers came together to create a special project called “Stars of Gratitude.” Each child received a red, white, or blue star and wrote their name on it. Together, the stars formed an American flag, symbolizing how even the smallest acts of gratitude can create something truly meaningful. Each star represented a child’s heartfelt thank-you to our Veterans for their courage, dedication, and sacrifices in protecting our freedom.

Students from Mrs. Campos, Mrs. Scheffler, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Yates’s classes also sang “You’re a Grand Old Flag” while waving American flags to show their appreciation and honor our Barnegat VFW Veterans ❤️💙🤍

Good afternoon,
