❤️🤍💙 Honoring Our Veterans! 🇺🇸
Last Friday, we had the honor of welcoming our veterans and special guests to Camelot for our Veterans Day Celebration! It was a wonderful morning filled with patriotism, gratitude, and some unforgettable moments!
🇺🇸 A special thank you to our amazing keynote speaker, Jamelle Garner, Senior Army Instructor for the Roosevelt High School JROTC Program! She shared how her years of military service helped shape her life and encouraged our students to think about the opportunities awaiting them at Roosevelt High School, including the JROTC program.
One of the highlights was when she brought out Roosevelt’s famous “Big Stick,” inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s quote, “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” Students from each grade level had the opportunity to help carry it, reminding us that it takes teamwork and all of us working together to accomplish great things! What an exciting moment for our Knights! ❤️
👏 A big round of applause to our Camelot Cheer Team, Student2Student Ambassadors, student MCs, Choir Ensemble, and 4th-grade students for their wonderful performances and contributions to our celebration! Thank you also to the Roosevelt High School JROTC Color Guard for presenting the colors.
Following the ceremony, our veterans and guests enjoyed light refreshments in the library as we continued celebrating and showing our appreciation.
❤️🤍💙 Although our celebration was held on Friday, we honor our veterans not just on Veterans Day, but every day. Thank you to all who have served for your courage, dedication, and sacrifices for our country! 🇺🇸
