The students at Stars Middle School created a display in the cafeteria in honor of the Veterans who have served our country in the military. They were asked to go home and find out who the Veterans in their own families are, and write down the names the "dog tags" pictures. Many of them did not believe there were Veterans in their families, but most of them found out otherwise. A number of teachers created pictures as well. We are proud of all Veterans who have served our country in the past, and those who are serving in the military now. They are the people who make our freedom possible.
