veterans, their families, and students are gathered in the auditorium for an assembly

Delaware Academy welcomed 38 local veterans and their families for a morning of special recognition today. Breakfast was served by National Honor Society students, followed by a moving musical program, performed by the Elementary School 3rd and 4th grade singers, Senior High Jazz Band, Senior High Concert Band Senior High Chorus and Senior Orchestra, featuring a violin solo by Gretel Hilson-Schneider, as well as individual performances by Amelia Gibson and Paisley Smith. The program also included  keynote speaker Nicholas J. Frandsen, door prizes, “roll call,” and presentation of a gift to the local American Legion Post, made by students in the FFA and DA Art Club. It was an amazing morning! This is the 10th year that Delaware Academy has held this special event to honor our local veterans.
