Tuckahoe Common School District Honors Veterans

Southampton NY, Tuckahoe Common School District is honored to announce a Field of Flags ceremony on November 8th on the front lawn of our campus. We extend a heartfelt invitation to all Veterans and community members to join us in paying tribute to our local heroes.

Starting at 1 p.m., this event aims to unite our community in recognition and support of our brave veterans. Superintendent Leonard Skuggevik will deliver an address acknowledging their service, sacrifice, and commitment to our country.

The event will commence with the National Anthem, followed by a student address detailing the importance of the Wounded Warrior Project and Wreaths Across America. This will provide an opportunity for our younger generation to express their gratitude and understanding of the sacrifices made by our veterans.

Attendees will witness songs performed by our talented students, fostering a sense of pride and camaraderie among our community. The event's main highlight will be the community participating in the symbolic planting of flags on the lawn, each representing our appreciation for our veterans' dedication and bravery.

The ceremony will conclude with a community-wide sing-along to "God Bless America," allowing everyone present to join in a unified expression of patriotism and respect for those who have served our nation.

We encourage all community members to come out and show their support for our local veterans. This is a chance to strengthen our community bonds and express our collective gratitude to those who have served and protected us.
