Mineola Students Honor Veterans Through Crafts

Hampton Street School kindergarteners create craft soldiers to honor veterans.

In an effort to reinforce to students what Veterans Day is and to connect the holiday toΒ their culture, Mineola students in the universal pre-K program at Hampton Street School createdΒ crafts to honor the day.

Each student glued together pieces of construction paper to formΒ a soldier and then attached little thank-you notes to each one.

The craft activity, doneΒ by Christine O’Grady’s morning and afternoon sessions, will be sent to local veterans.
