Freetown VFW chapter donates 23 books on patriotism to ARHS students

A significant moment unfolded at the Freetown-Lakeville Regional School Committee meeting as members unanimously approved a generous book donation from the Freetown VFW Chapter 6643. The donation includes 23 books focused on patriotism and history, aimed at enriching students' educational resources.

The collaboration between the school committee and the VFW has spanned over 35 years, marked by joint participation in events like the Patriots and Voice of Democracy speech competitions and Veterans Day celebrations. The donated books will be available for students at the library, supporting their research, civics projects, and preparation for upcoming competitions.

Committee members expressed their gratitude during the meeting, with one member stating, "Thank you to the Freetown VFW for their generosity." The motion to accept the donation was met with no opposition, and a roll call confirmed unanimous support. The committee plans to send a thank-you note to the VFW, reinforcing the strong community ties that benefit local students.
