BCLSD Continues the Tradition of Honoring Veterans

BC Continues the Tradition

of Honoring Veterans

Veterans Day is one of our favorite days of the school year. It has become a tradition of the Bloom-Carroll Local School District to take time on November 11th to pay tribute to our military men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms and liberties. Each year we honor our veterans with assemblies, songs, poems, artwork, and letters of gratitude to show appreciation to the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our great nation.

We wanted to provide you with a glimpse into our day and share with you just a few videos clips of activities that took place across the district during today's Veterans Day assemblies.

During both assemblies at BC Elementary School, veterans were honored with a tribute of songs from each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.
