Lawrenceville Elementary School (LES) teamed up with Applebee’s in Lawrence to salute active duty soldiers and veterans and thank them for protecting our freedom on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2015.

As part of the program, the children created cards and decorated and signed a banner with words of thanks for their service to our country. Applebee’s gave all veterans a free lunch from a selected menu and a “thank you” note from the children of LES. The banner is currently on display at the restaurant in Lawrenceville.

Pictured are children from Kristen Potter’s first grade class and adults from left to right include Ali Roldan, manager at the Applebee’s Lawrenceville, Kristen Potter, first grade teacher, Ed Francis, physical education teacher, and Melissa Lockett, principal.
