Mills Pond Elementary School Principal Ireen Westrack proudly told local veterans that, “We wanted to do something more personal this year.”

So, she, Mills Pond staff and students hosted their first Mills Pond Veterans Parade on Nov. 9.

Veterans related to students and staff were invited to the school in honor of Veterans Day.

The veterans walked down a red carpet with their relatives, were served a hot breakfast, received thank you certificates and participated in a parade in front of the school.

The 5th grade choir also performed some patriotic songs and local Girl Scouts proudly led the parade.

Mills Pond Elementary School in St. James sprinted into the spring on April 11 with its Fun Run. After marching out by class holding banners, the third grade kicked off the festivities on the course, with other grades following throughout the school day.  Photos courtesy of SCSD
