By: PERIMETER School Students

Perimeter School will continue our 30-year tradition of students and faculty expressing appreciation to veterans for their service at the Perimeter School Veterans Celebration tomorrow, Wednesday, November 6, 2024, at 9:30 AM. We hope that you will join us in person or online!

In preparation for the event, our students have written essays of appreciation for those who have served our country. We are excited to share some of their words with you.

Brave, Selfless, and heroic

“When my uncle Adam brought bad men to justice at Guantanamo Bay, he said a flag flew every day over the prison. This reminded him that America is strong and fights against evil. Our nation doesn’t always agree, but the flag unites us.”
