In this episode of Learning Out Loud, two 5th-grade students share what they’ve been learning about democracy.

This special episode also features interviews conducted by two members of our Student Council. During our school’s Veterans Day Breakfast, they sat down with several U.S. Military Veterans who visited JCES. The students asked thoughtful questions students had submitted for the Veterans, and the Veterans shared their stories, experiences, and reflections on service.

Join us as we learn, listen, and honor the people in our community who have served our country.
