The Woodlands Christian Academy celebrates Veterans Day by setting up student ‘recruiting centers’

THE WOODLANDS, TX – The future of our nation’s fighting forces seems to be in good hands as The Woodlands Christian Academy got an early start on Veterans Day celebrations.

While the campus grounds were filled with a photographic parade of student families’ military heroes, the school’s 6th and 7th grade classes created mock recruiting stations and gave presentations touting the reasons to join any of the six existing military branches.

Posters created by the academy’s 5th and 8th grade students were proudly lined up, each one decorated with a photo, dedication, and biography of a beloved family member who has served in the armed forces.

Meanwhile, three classrooms were dedicated to the talents of student groups representing each branch of the United States military – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force – who gave comprehensive, educational, and entertaining presentations on the history, makeup, mission, and future of each branch. After each presentation, question-and-answer sessions were conducted, and audience members who paid the most attention were given prizes.

After each presentation, the audiences of fellow students went to the building’s main ‘recruiting station’ to vote for their favorite branch. While denied the vote, parents and family members of the students also attended the sessions, and their pride in their children’s pride of project was evidenced.

The school also presented a POW/MIA Table, a ceremonial placesetting representing those lost in the line of service.

Both the outdoor photo display and branch presentations continue through November 11; interested parties are encouraged to contact the academy for a tour and more more information.
