As multiple schools in Newtown were preparing for Veterans Day ceremonies and activities scheduled for November 11, Middle Gate Elementary School welcomed two representatives from the Danbury US Army Recruiting center on Wednesday, November 10. Sergeant Derek Brookshire and Sergeant Samuel Dolan, above with students, gave presentations and answered questions during the school’s “Veterans Day Celebration.” Event overseer Linda Baron said the program was held at the school roughly eight years ago, and this year the school wanted to “just really make it glorious.” Ms Baron also said the program was held to give students a sense of who soldiers are. “It’s so important that these kids know who serves our country,” she said. The event was one of multiple at the school as a buildup to its Thursday Veterans Day ceremonies. (Hallabeck photo)
