Donaghue, Sweetsir Elementary Schools Participate in Successful Memorial Day Program
MERRIMAC — Superintendent Justin Bartholomew and Principal Stephanie Dembro are pleased to share that the Sweetsir and Donaghue Elementary Schools recently participated in a successful Memorial Day Program.
The program, held on Friday, May 26, recognized active service members and veterans who are a part of the Merrimac community, including staff at the Sweetsir and the Donaghue schools.
Students in kindergarten through Grade 6, directed by Music Teacher Johanna Dickson, performed patriotic songs and read reflections on what Memorial Day means to them.
Members of the American Legion Post 134 attended, led by Commander Roger Clark.
“It was so great to see the Merrimac community come together for this event,” said Dickson. “I was very proud to see our students ‘give back’ to the service members and veterans in attendance.”
“This program is a great way for students to learn about the importance of Memorial Day and recognize the sacrifices of veterans and service members,” said Superintendent Bartholomew. “Thank you to all who attended, and to veterans and active service members for their contributions to the Merrimac community.”
