CRESTVIEW — Antioch Elementary School’s Aviators are sending a special message to U.S. troops.

Childcare program students celebrated Freedom Week Sept. 23-27 by creating a banner to express their appreciation for men and women serving in Afghanistan. The banner will be mailed to a family member serving overseas.

Each year during Freedom Week, students learn about the military’s sacrifices to uphold this country’s values.
