JQA First Graders Honor Veterans Through Song

John Quincy Adams Primary School marked Veterans Day with a special patriotic performance by the school’s first graders, giving students an opportunity to honor local veterans and express their gratitude through music.

Directed by Diane Saporito, the young performers sang “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “America the Beautiful,” “Veterans Day,” “We Thank You,” “This Land Is Your Land” and “Stars and Stripes Forever.” The program combined music with a meaningful lesson in service, sacrifice and appreciation for service members.

“We are incredibly proud of our first graders for honoring our local Deer Park veterans through their beautiful performance of patriotic songs,” Principal Dr. Lynn Coyle said. “A special thank you to Mrs. Saparito for bringing this meaningful experience to life and giving our students the opportunity to personally recognize and thank those who have served our country. It was truly a special day for our JQA community.”
