Leading up to this Veterans Day, Battle Ground schools have been honoring the service and sacrifices of local servicemembers past and present. These events are meaningful opportunities for students to learn about Veterans Day and demonstrate their appreciation for those who have served our country. Here are just a few examples.

Yacolt Primary

Yacolt Primary recognized veterans with a special assembly on Nov. 5. Hosted by the school’s third grade students, the assembly included a flag presentation by members of the American Legion Tum Tum Post, original student poetry and song performances.

Maple Grove Primary

Maple Grove invited family and community members to attend the school's Veterans Day parade. Veterans representing a variety of branches of the military walked the school's halls, where they were met by cheering students and staff and received thank you cards and high fives.

Pleasant Valley primary and middle school students performed songs and recognized the veterans in attendance at their assembly. Students from Prairie High School's Reserve Officers' Training Corps also attended to present the flags and provide a ceremonial rifle spinning demonstration.
