Meadow Hill School celebrated the 20th anniversary of its Veterans Day Breakfast on Friday, welcoming local veterans with a show of appreciation from students and staff.

Veterans were greeted by students and teachers lining the hallways and applauding as they arrived. Members of the Newburgh Free Academy Junior ROTC presented the colors, followed by the national anthem.

Students served breakfast to the veterans, performed songs and took time to personally thank them for their service. The celebration concluded with a group photograph, followed by another hallway sendoff as students applauded and thanked the veterans for attending.

The annual breakfast is a long-standing Meadow Hill tradition, bringing the school community together to honor those who have served the nation.
