PICTURES TEAM USA VETERANS BREAKFAST Team USA once again provided a free meal for any veterans and their close family members the day before veterans day. LINK TO 44 PICTURES Due to covid restrictions, the food and coffee were served using an outdoor drive-through system. Cars pulled up at the Big Gym entrance and students handed veterans bagged donuts and hot cups of coffee. Numerous components of the veterans' breakfast were orchestrated by the 7th and 8th grade USA students. They organized donations of food and beverages from local businesses,, made many directional signs, planted many small USA flags around the breakfast site, set up a food tent and tables, and stood at corners to direct veterans to the right spot at school. Whenever veterans appeared, students thanked them for their service. Ms. Lawyer’s Navigators classroom made cards and thank you notes that were stapled to the food bags that were handed out. They also stood outside and waved to the visiting veterans. INVESTIGATORS 2nd GRADE BOWLING - WIGHT PE teacher, Ms. Wight, helped these young students develop their bowling techniques and knowledge.
