Yesterday, our Coolville Elementary community came together to honor and celebrate our veterans. Student-led songs, a flag dedication, and heartfelt recognition made this year’s Veterans Day Program a special tribute. We are grateful to all who joined us and wish every veteran a very Happy Veterans Day! We sincerely thank all veterans for their service and sacrifice.❤️🤍💙
