SeaTac, WA – The students of Bow Lake Elementary School are inviting local veterans to an assembly honoring veterans and active military personnel at 9:45 a.m., Friday, November 7. The program will be followed by a small reception.
SeaTac Mayor and State Representative for the 33rd District Mia Gregerson will read Don’t Forget, God Bless Our Troops, by Jill Biden. Veterans, including Gregerson’s 92-year-old grandfather, will answer student’s questions regarding their military experiences. Fifth grade music students and the Huntington Park Chorus, under the direction of Greg Wright, will sing patriotic songs.
“Last year, several of our guests told me it was the first time they had ever been honored at a Veterans Day celebration,” said Sue Bjelke, Music Specialist at Bow Lake.
“Although the students may not fully comprehend the sacrifices made by veterans, it is important that we honor and never forget our veterans.”
Veterans and guests are asked to RSVP by email to Susan.Bjelke@highlineschools.org or call Bow Lake at 206-631-3500. Attendees should check in with the front office upon arrival.
