Students and staff in the Locust Valley Central School District commemorated the brave military heroes throughout the community with ceremonies for Veterans Day.

On Nov. 8, Ann MacArthur Primary School, Locust Valley Intermediate School and Bayville Intermediate School each hosted ceremonies where students sang patriotic tunes and presented poppy flowers and art pieces to the many veterans within the school community.

Students also got the chance to listen and learn as veterans spoke about their experiences and the importance of each branch of the military.
