To honor Veterans Day, Ste. Genevieve Elementary art teacher Haley Schnitzler hosts a special art contest for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Using their creativity and critical thinking skills, students design artworks that pay tribute to America and the military. Mrs. Schnitzler, along with art teacher Mrs. Christina Rudloff-Guilford, selects one outstanding piece from each class to feature at the Veterans Day Assembly. During the event, the winners lead the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance and are celebrated with certificates and professional posters of their artwork.
