Thank you Veterans.
Veteran’s Day Program 2023. Tomorrow, we celebrate the great strength, courage, and sacrifice many U.S. Armed Forces Veteran’s and Active-Duty Military Members make to uphold our democracy and freedom. Your patriotism and honor inspire our students every day to embrace the same morales.
The program was MC’d by National Honor Society President Isaac F. Six students, Andrew N., Savanah W., Daniel S., Brooks S., Kylie G., and William S., presented pieces of patriotic essays, poems, and speeches. Two local veterans received Quilts of Honor while seven received Quilts of Valor.
We would like to thank all in attendance at today’s program. We would also like to thank all our current and former military members from our Menno community for everything they have done for us!
