Candles glowed in dozens of paper bags arranged beneath the stage in the dimly lit Benjamin Franklin Middle School (BF) auditorium last Thursday.
Benjamin Franklin Middle School (BF) students created luminaries with messages to veterans for their Memorial Day Remembrance ceremony.
Decorated by BF students during their morning classes, each luminary was a small emblem of patriotism, decorated in red, white and blue. In exchange for their bags, many students donated to an organization that aids wounded veterans.
The luminaries were one aspect of what will become an annual tradition.
BF’s first Memorial Day Remembrance complemented Monday’s annual Memorial Day ceremony in Van Neste Square.
