Briarwood Honors our Hero's at a Veteran's Day Assembly

Briarwood Bears celebrated Veteran's Day during a whole school assembly.  5th Graders started it off with the Pledge of Allegiance and speeches honoring our Veteran's.  Our amazing administration created a PowerPoint honoring all those that have served our country.  Then, the Briarwood Chorus sang a song thanking the Veteran's for everything they have sacrificed to keep our country safe.  Finally, the assembly ended with our Veteran's lining the halls so the students can thank them for their service. 

Overall, our Briarwood Bears were so respectful, kind and caring during the assembly.  We are so thankful for our Veterans!  Happy Veteran's Day!

Hi, Briarwood families! I have been in education for 30 years, and have spent 20 of those right here in the ISD. A few fun facts about me: I love the “Harry Potter” series, my favorite kind of music is 80s, and my son got married in July!
