First Graders Make Handmade Cards for Local Veterans

A group of first graders at Longfellow Elementary are commemorating Veteran’s Day a week early.

Students learned what it means to be a veteran and about military service.

They also dove right into crafting red, white and blue cards, topping them off with a sprinkle of glitter.

This has been a tradition at Longfellow Elementary for years.

The class will walk to the VA Medical Center to deliver the handmade cards to veterans on Monday morning.

Veteran’s Day is Wednesday.
