We enjoy sharing stories of the community honoring men and women who have served our country.

Principal of Northwestern Elementary School in Mardela Springs, Kirby Bryson, and Fourth Grade Teacher, Charlie Echard, stop by the DelmarvaLife studio to tell us all about the Mardela Springs Military Banner Program honoring veterans.

The banner program salutes brave men and women who are currently serving and those who have served in the military. The veteran being honored in the program does not have to be a native of Mardela Springs and can be a veteran who served at any time in this nations history. To learn more about the banner program, go here.

Mardela is also getting ready for a big celebration. Northwestern Elementary School is having a 50th Year Celebration on April 22 at 1 pm.
