I covered the Barnsdall Elementary School’s Veterans Day assembly. The first and second graders sang patriotic songs for the school and local veterans. Here are a few of my favorite photographs from the event.
First grader Melody Hanes hugs veteran Barbara Taylor as she hands out small flags to students after the assembly Monday morning. Taylor introduced herself to the crowd as an army cook from Barnsdall.
Second grade students goof off with their American flags before heading back to class after the Veterans Day assembly.
LaRae Clark, a reading tutor at Barnsdall Schools, holds her emotional son Bodie, a first grader, after the assembly. “That one song, the hero song, gets him every time,” she said.
