HONORING OUR VETERANS

alena Park ISD hosted its annual Veterans Day Luncheon on November 9. More than 150
veterans and their family members attended the event. North Shore Senior High School’s Perfect
Harmony choir performed the theme song from each military branch and finished with the Star
GSpangled Banner. There were letters written to the veterans on the tables by elementary students
with special readings from the GPISD Veterans Day essay contest winners, Maileen Guzman from Pyburn
Elementary School and Marcelo Cardenas from North Shore Elementary School.

Maileen wrote, “Veterans are bold and courageous. They are warriors. They are remarkable because
they help us and protect us.”

Linda Jamail and Maria Delgado from Representative Ana
Hernandez’ office; Constable Clint Brown from Constable Christopher
Diaz’ office; Wanda Heath Johnson, Galena Park ISD Board President;
and Wilfred J. Broussard, Jr., Galena Park ISD Board Vice President
stopped by to express their appreciation to our veterans.

GPISD would like to thank all of the veterans and family members who
attended the Veterans Day Luncheon.
