East Rockaway Grad Returns to Share Military Experience with Rhame Students

Veterans Day celebrations began at Rhame Avenue Elementary School with a special visit from Sam Kinzer, a 2019 East Rockaway School District graduate now serving in the United States Army.
Kinzer met with the school's World Cultures Group, where curious students peppered him with questions about his military service and travels abroad. The Q&A covered topics ranging from his favorite international cuisine to the most challenging aspects of military life and what he values most about serving his country.
Beyond sharing his experiences, Kinzer encouraged students to strive for their best and emphasized the importance of character development through volunteering and showing kindness to others.
The visit offered students a meaningful connection between their studies and real-world service, with plans already in place for Kinzer to return for another visit.
