Bishop Baraga Catholic School continued a beloved tradition this Veterans Day, welcoming local veterans for a special assembly to recognize and thank those who have served our country.
The veterans arrived at BBCS in parade formation, where students gathered outside waving American flags to greet them. As the veterans entered the building, students stood and sang “God Bless America,” offering a warm welcome to their honored guests.
During the assembly, students had the opportunity to ask the veterans questions about their military experiences. They were curious about where the veterans had served, the most interesting roles they had held, and what advice they would offer to young people considering military service in the future.
To close the assembly, Dr. Greiffendorf asked the veterans how students could show their love and respect for their country at their age. One veteran offered a particularly meaningful response, encouraging students to put God first in their lives. He reminded them that living their faith is one of the best ways to thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed upon our nation.
The annual Veterans Day assembly is a meaningful opportunity for students to learn firsthand about service, sacrifice, patriotism, and gratitude. We are grateful to the veterans who took the time to visit our school, share their experiences, and inspire our students.
To all who have served, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
