Veterans Day Ceremony 2025

Our 4th and 5th grade students came together to honor local veterans through a heartfelt celebration of service and gratitude. The Canandaigua Academy Wind Ensemble performed several moving selections, and students were led in patriotic songs by music teacher Mrs. Medler.

This year’s keynote speaker, Mychajlo Eliaszewskyj ’98, a proud veteran of the U.S. Army, shared an inspiring message about how military service embodies community, teamwork, and responsibility—values that continue to guide his life beyond his years in uniform.

We extend our deepest appreciation to all who have served. Wishing every veteran a happy, healthy Veterans Day—and our sincere thanks for your service to our nation.
