On Friday, January 20th members of the Nassau County Council of Veterans of Foreign Wars visited Willets Road to present 6th grade student Megan Kirschner with a certificate and award for her participation in the 2011 Veterans Day ceremony. Megan memorized and read a poem paying tribute to our veterans. The members of the chapter under the leadership of Commander Charles Boyd, visited Mr. Roaldsen's social studies class to present the award. Mr. Kimmel shared with the students the mission of the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization and discussed the importance of recognizing the commitment and sacrifice that the men and woman of our Armed Forces make to protect our freedom and way of life as Americans.
It was an honor and privilege to have theses American Heroes visit our school. Way to go Meagan!!!
