Connetquot Elementary School celebrated First Responder Appreciation Day on Oct. 28, with students sharing photos of their loved ones who are first responders, which were then featured in a video compiled by teacher Meagan Faughnan.

“This day is a day that so many of our students and staff hold near and dear to our hearts, as we recognize the brave individuals who work day in and day out to keep us safe and healthy,” Faughnan said.
