On Nov. 10, the Aurora community and S.W. Snowden came together to honor local veterans.  A scrumptious breakfast was hosted in the band room provided by the school’s staff and community members for our men and ladies. In the gymnasium, an informative slide show about the history of Veterans Day and the branches of the armed forces was displayed and narrated by middle-school authors. The band serenaded the esteemed veterans and each grade presented a thankful message and cards.
