Fifth graders at the International School at Dundee (ISD) marked Veterans’ Day 2012 by setting a table dedicated to America’s Prisoners of War and Missing in Action, a practice common at Air Force Dining-Ins and Dining Outs. Positioned in a place of honor in the school’s cafeteria, the table served as a reminder of America’s missing airmen and soldiers. Symbolic references included a white tablecloth for the purity of soliders’ intentions in serving their country, a single setting for the frailty of one prisoner alone against oppressors, a rose for the faith of family and loved ones and a red ribbon for unyielding determination to account for America’s POW’s and MIA’s.
About ISD: The International School at Dundee was authorized in July of 2003 as an official International Baccalaureate school. ISD is one of only 181 IB Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) authorized schools in the US, and one of only a few elementary schools in Connecticut to receive the IBPYP accreditation.
