Students at Brunswick Lower School had a week to remember as members of the Retired Men’s Association of Greenwich connected generations through stories and song.
To close out the week, on Friday, members of The Melody Men, also part of the Retired Men’s Association, visited the school to perform a selection of classic American songs. Their spirited performance brought smiles and laughter, creating a joyful and educational connection to the themes that would be shared earlier in the week.
As a gesture of appreciation, Brunswick Lower School students closed the assembly by singing their school song, “Men Of Brunswick.” It was moving to see the boys honor the RMA members for their service to both the country and the community.
In honor of Veterans Day, RMA military veterans also visited the school to speak with students about their service, experiences, and the importance of honoring those who protect and defend the nation. The veterans shared personal stories, answered students’ questions, and emphasized values such as courage, teamwork, and patriotism. Teachers noted how engaged students were as they listened to real-life accounts from the people who have contributed so much to their country.
Brunswick Lower School Head, Katie Signer, expressed gratitude for the volunteers, saying, “Our students gained a deeper appreciation for both the sacrifices made by our veterans and the cultural traditions that make our country unique. It’s wonderful to see our community come together to support learning in such meaningful ways.”
The events highlighted the strong partnership between Brunswick and the Retired Men’s Association of Greenwich, demonstrating how local organizations continue to inspire and educate younger generations and build intergenerational ties, strengthening the fabric of our community.
