Jim Pearson honors veterans with ‘long-standing tradition’ program

Gabrielle Jansen / The Outlook Jim Pearson students perform "Grand Old Flag."

It was a show of song and dance to honor the military at Jim Pearson Elementary School’s Veterans Day program Friday. The annual program had different classes sing songs to veterans who were seated across from them at the school’s gym.

Veterans and members of the Alexander City Honor Guard attended the event. Benjamin Russell’s Navy JROTC presented the colors.
