As a nod to veterans and in honor of Thanksgiving, prekindergarten students from all five elementary schools joined together for a community service project this November. 

After discussing the meaning behind Veterans Day and how important it is to thank all who protect our country, the students created colorful paper placemats decorated with traditional Thanksgiving ideas. After the placemats were laminated, they were delivered to the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook, just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.
