The district's schools were well represented at the American Legion's annual Veterans Day ceremony at the Freeport Recreation Center on Nov. 11.
The high school's JROTC performed a marching drill under the direction of Major Moore, and Atkinson fifth-graders, led by Choral Director Stephanie Arnell, sang "We Will Stand With You."
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kishore Kuncham and several members of the board of education also attended the ceremony, which was rounded out by speeches by local war veterans and a video montage depicting the hard work and dedication of our nation's troops.
