NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — Students at Noblesville's White River Elementary School cheered on first responders Monday during the High Five for Heroes event.
It was a way for the students to show their appreciation for the sacrifices made on 9/11 and to recognize first responders who live in central Indiana. That includes the school's principal, Calie VanDermark, who is also a veteran.
"Today is so special for me because it's an opportunity for all of our students to offer appreciation and a time of remembrance for all those who have served and continue to serve today," said VanDermark.
This was the first year for this event at the school.
