2018 Veterans Day Assembly

On Friday Nov. 9, Hirsch Academy thanked veterans in our community for their service to our country. Police officer Adam Fernandez and our own 4th grade teacher Ms. Suryea Leal spoke to our students about their experiences in the military. They both served as Airmen in the United States Air Force stationed in the US! They each spoke to the students in our morning assembly about their different experiences in the military, where they served and what responsibilities they had. Students were very engaged and asked excellent questions. Afterwards, we all said the pledge of Allegiance as we do every morning, but then we sang the Star Spangled Banner to show tribute to our country and the people that protect it.
