About:
Select chorus members and courageous poem writers stood in front of their peers at West End Elementary School in the Lynbrook Public School District to honor those lost and thank the days’ heroes on Patriot Day.
Dressed in red, white and blue, select chorus members under the direction of music teacher Jodi Abrams presented the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem. Several students penned original poems that were read aloud to thank first responders in attendance. To close out the event, chorus members rose to perform a song dedicated to first responders. As they exited the auditorium, students personally thanked the first responders who continue to keep their community safe.
