West Branch student honors veteran principal with book for Veterans Day

BELOIT, Ohio - A fourth grader at West Branch Intermediate School prepared a special surprise to honor her principal, who is a veteran on Veterans Day.
Fourth grader, Victoria Jones created a book about veterans and the sacrifices they make for our country and presented it to school principal, Fritz Schlueter.
Jones says she wrote the book because she was thinking about Veterans Day coming up soon and decided to make the book for Schlueter titled "I Respect the Veterans" because she knew how important the day is to him.
Principal Schlueter says while he appreciated the gift when he initially received it, it wasn't until he looked inside the book that he was blown away by its message and the time and effort it took to create it.
In the book, Jones expresses that veterans are heroes and that she hopes that Schlueter has the "best Veterans Day ever."
According to a press release from the school district, this project inspired Jones to create even more books in the future to brighten the days of others.
