Beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance and ending with Let There Be Peace on Earth, Botelle School hosted its fourth annual Veterans Day Sing on November 9. In welcome, Principal Timothy Lee said, “Today’s lesson for our students is that our freedoms do not come without cost, and we should not take them for granted.” Students dressed in red, white and blue and led by music teacher Elizabeth Allyn honored veterans with music and poems, and the Parent-Teacher Organization provided refreshments. Thirty veterans attended, representing all branches of the military, with service stretching from World War II to the Iraq war.
