Veterans Day Observance at Key Center

Key Center School had a wonderful time celebrating Veterans Day!

Our celebration started with a very special visitor: Lieutenant Colonel Rodney Stewart! LTC Stewart is a serviceman who came to talk to our students about life in the military. He told us all about his time serving our country. The students had so many great questions for him! They were very excited and used their voice output devices to ask questions. LTC Stewart was happy to answer their questions, and after the visit, our students wrote special thank you letters to veterans to let them know that they appreciate their service and sacrifices.

The excitement continued with an amazing assembly led by music therapist, Johanna Horn. Families were invited to join us, either in person or virtually. Students learned about each branch of the military and participated in fun, interactive activities to go along with each service:

Rhythm sticks for the Army
Parachute play for the Marine Corps
Ocean drums for the Navy
Kazoos for the Air Force
Water and sand tubs for the Coast Guard
The Key Center Rocket cheer for Space Force

Key Center School offers a huge, heartfelt thank you to all the Veterans in our community and across the country. Your service and dedication keep our country safe and strong. We are grateful for you every day!
