The students walked from their school to the nearby VA Center, and spent time getting to know veterans there.
“We just wanted to learn more about them and see their background stories and see what they've been through because we think it's a cool experience,” said sixth-grader Riley Fister. "Some people have been through World War II and I think that's really cool.”
The students also gave veterans thank-you cards made by fellow students.
