Kindergarten students at Imagine School at Town Center participated in a service learning project called Valentines for Veterans on Wednesday, Feb. 11.
The school's kindergarten team partnered with Jeff Kingdon, a Marine Corps veteran and chairman of the Flagler County Veterans Advisory Council. Kingdon gave a presentation to the students on the American flag and the six branches of the U.S. military. He showed the students the official flags of those branches and brought pictures to show the uniforms of the different branches.
Students learned how to be respectful to veterans and how to respect the American flag. Students also went on a rotation where they heard stories from six veterans who are family members or neighbors of Imagine School students. They talked about the branches that they served in and brought memorabilia such as helmets, medals, and artwork.
Kingdon, who creates wooden plaques for fellow veterans and service providers, presented a plaque to each of the veterans who participated and to each of the teachers that read "Thank You for Your Service" and "Thank You for Honoring Veterans."
After the presentations, students worked on Valentine cards to be sent to The Emory L. Bennett State Veterans Nursing Home in Daytona Beach.
