Veterans Day is about remembering and honoring those who have served and currently serve our country, and students from two North Platte elementary schools will be doing just that, with their voices.

Students from Washington and Eisenhower Elementary schools will present their Veterans Day concert on Tuesday evening at the North Platte High School Performing Arts Center.

“My grandfather, Elmo Steffen, was a World War II veteran,” said Washington and Eisenhower music teacher, Janette Kammerer.  “I have a lot of relatives who have served our country, and I am very passionate about teaching my students how important it is to honor those who have given us our freedom.”

Kammerer said the students will perform a selection of the old classics, including, “The Star Spangled Banner,” “America of Thee I Sing,” “For the Good of the Many,” “Proud of our Veterans” and “God Bless America.”

The students will also welcome some special guests, as they have invited numerous Veterans to attend the concert to be honored.

Students from Washington will present their concert at 6:00 p.m., followed by the Eisenhower students at 7:30 p.m.

Kammerer said the entire community is invited to join the students in honoring those who have made great sacrifices to protect our freedom.

Cookies and drinks will be available at the conclusion of the concert.
