Knox Trail students give back at veterans dinner

BY KEVIN FLANDERS NEWS STAFF WRITER SPENCER — Students from Knox Trail Junior High School spent a night giving back to veterans on Nov. 8, as Peer Leaders served dinner at the Gaudette-Kirk American Legion Post 138. Organized by first-year Knox Trail JHS math teacher and Peer Leaders advisor, Beth Johnson, the event fea- tured 20 sixth, seventh, and eighth grad- ers. The kids served food to guests, helped clean up following the dinner, and even delivered to the veterans thank-you cards they wrote during school. Just a few days shy of Veterans Day, it meant a lot to the kids to be able to serve individuals who served their country. “The Veterans Day Dinner went so well,” Johnson said. “The Peer Leaders worked so hard and showed such respect. The veterans gave them a big round of applause at the end of the dinner.” Veterans were thrilled to receive support from the students, and they Jim’s

From left, front row: Wendy Swallow (“Under of putting recycled materials to use,” the Sea”), Eileen Graham (fish), Tonya Laird (octopus), Caitlin O’Connor (jellyfish), Patty Ostrout (shark) and Rose Bruso (fish). Back row: said Brookfield Elementary School Art Tammy Gustafson (lobster), Derek Grueter (fisherman) and Renee Jurczyk (fish). Teacher Ashley Simonds. “They were free to take chances and have fun. They really enjoyed themselves and were excited to learn that the work would be shown at North Brookfield Savings Bank during Halloween.” To complement the artwork, bank staff dressed up as a variety of sea creatures, as well as a fisherman, for Halloween. It was the perfect match — good enough to win NBSB’s contest — but the Gilbert Street branch was quick to credit the artists who inspired them and contributed artwork. “Although we’re very excited to have won, we know that it wouldn’t have been possible without the out- standing artwork made by Brookfield Elementary School students,” said Gilbert Street Branch Manager Tonya Laird. “We were beyond proud to exhib- it their installation in our branch and honored that they trusted us with their work.”
