In just a few weeks, Locust Valley Central School District will host the first Remembrance Bowl in the United States. The week of the game, which kicks off at 2 p.m. on Sept. 23, kindergarten to 12th grade students will learn about the heroic acts of Allied soldiers during the D-Day invasion and subsequent liberation of Europe, including Locust Valley’s sister city Sainte-Mere-Eglise, France, in a unit curated by our incredible teachers.
On Sept. 23, the festivities will begin with the homecoming parade at 11 a.m. At 1:15 p.m., the Remembrance Ceremony will start at the high school’s Fred Smith Field, and at 2 p.m. our local heroes in the American Legion will participate in the coin toss and the game will kick off. Overflow parking and a shuttle to the game will be available at Stehli Beach.
Educators from across the country will be on hand to observe and learn how to bring the Remembrance Bowl to their communities in the future.
