On Friday, November 15, St. Bernard School opened its doors and hearts to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. This special day began with a beautiful Mass, where students had the unique opportunity to invite a veteran to join them. The church was filled with a sense of gratitude as Father Adam extended a heartfelt blessing to all veterans in attendance.
Following Mass, the celebration continued with a social gathering in Bishop Hall. It was a wonderful chance for students to spend time with their special guests, sharing conversations over coffee, juice, and donuts. The St. Bernard band added to the festive atmosphere, performing a selection of patriotic and uplifting songs that brought smiles to everyone’s faces.
One of the highlights of the event was the display of memorabilia brought in by our honored veterans. Students eagerly explored these artifacts, gaining a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices and experiences of those who have served. This hands-on interaction sparked meaningful discussions and brought history to life in a way no textbook could.
A huge thank you goes out to Mrs. Waack and Ms. Winkler for their thoughtful planning and organization of this event. Their efforts ensured the day was not only memorable but also meaningful for all involved.
Above all, we extend our deepest gratitude to the veterans who joined us and to all who have served our country. Your courage and dedication inspire us, and we are forever thankful for the freedoms we enjoy because of your sacrifice.
Thank you for being our heroes.
Happy Veterans Day from all of us at St. Bernard School!
