The 8th Grade students at St. Columbkille Catholic School were each able to invite a veteran for a special school event on veteran's Day.
Students from the school had named veterans from their families and each was represented with a star on a Wall of Heroes.The 8th graders and their guests sat beside the wall for their program.
The event was begun by one of our students.
We appreciated the NJROTC members
from Papillion-LaVista South who helped.
The event speaker was Air Force Veteran Fr. Dave Reeson.
The Knights of Columbus held an essay contest. One student in each class from 4th to 8th grade was named a winner and the overall prize winner read her essay at the assembly.
Our first grade students showed their patriotism in song.
One of out 8th graders led a blessing of our veteran guests.
They seemed to enjoy the event.
