Thanking Veterans

Posted Date: 11/13/26 (11:27 AM)

A little kindness and a whole lot of gratitude from 4th graders at Matthew Paterson Elementary School.  Mrs. Cardone’s 4th grade class at MPES created Veterans Day cards and cookies for the veterans at Sergeant Ronald Grey American Legion Post 1542 in Patterson! 

Through this thoughtful project, students shared their appreciation for the brave men and women who have served our country. Each card and sweet treat carried a heartfelt message: your service matters, your sacrifices are remembered, and you are appreciated. Thank you, Mrs., Lopez ( daughter of US Navy Veteran in Patterson NY) for delivering and spending time with our community veterans. 

Thank you, Mrs. Cardone and Mrs. Lopez for helping our students turn gratitude into action and showing them, how small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference in our community.

To all our veterans, thank you for your service—today and always.
