The East Broadway Elementary School community in the Levittown School District is marking Veterans Day through a heartfelt gesture that will reach veterans directly.

Students throughout the school diligently assembled cards with messages of thanks that popped with students' red, white and blue artwork. An effort led by fifth grade teacher Susan Cavanaugh, the cards will be sent to the Warrior Ranch Foundation in Calverton, NY, which provides equine therapy for veterans. This year marks the second in a row that cards will be sent, teaching students the importance of honoring those who served.
