Second grade students in Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School were excited to welcome local veterans in an outdoor ceremony to honor them for their service. Organized by second grade teacher Stacy Iberger, students waved flags and delivered letters that they wrote to honor local servicemen and women for their bravery and service. Joseph Cognitore spoke on behalf of the veterans of Rocky Point VFW Post 6249. The ceremony also included music students from the high school along with music teachers Amy Schecher and Jessica Spitz as well as administrators and Board of Education President Susan Sullivan.
