Miller Elementary had a lesson that didn’t come from a textbook or lesson plan on Wednesday morning during the Veterans Day Breakfast. Instead, they got a lesson from the heart about loved ones and community members that served this country.The veterans breakfast is in its second year at the school and was created by principal Andrew Freas and special educator Holley Bergenson as a way to honor veterans.“We chose to serve the veterans. We did it by the breakfast, so they can serve people who served us, that’s the meaning behind it,” said Bergenson.The veterans who came to the breakfast are all local to the area and many of the children served their mothers, fathers and grandparents.Four students from the sixth grade, Susie VanLoon, Kyle Wharton, Kessy Landis and Allison Coates read letters of appreciation to the veterans for their service.“They choose to serve our country, sometimes not knowing if they will ever see their loved ones again. Some veterans have even made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting to protect our freedom and keep us safe,” read one student.Kindergarten and first grade students made placemats for the breakfast, the second and third grades did the table and wall decorations, and fourth grade wrote thank you notes with all the creations able to be taken home by the veterans.It was a whole school effort with the cafeteria staff volunteering time and small food items, Freas buying ingredients, staff donating as well and Sugar Mama’s donating three gallons of maple syrup.“My grandfather was shot down and my brother was in Iraq. I just think the sacrifice they make is so important. It’s not just one day a year. Some of these kids will go a year without seeing their parents. That’s why it is so special, they get to sit down with their family and enjoy it,” said Bergenson.“This is priceless, I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” said Rob Whittemore, who shared breakfast and time with his granddaughter Paisley Ablanalp.</div></body>
