The school did a wonderful job acknowledging the Veterans. Students were dressed appropriately and all appeared to be paying attention, with the exception of two, but that's a real win in my book and testimony to the teachers and their teaching!
The name of each registered Veteran was read, branch of service and other patriotic songs were sung, there were some short speeches from a few people (including the School's resource officer who got rousing applause), and Taps was played! All then went outside for a huge group picture; they stood around a huge American flag, which was painted on the hill, and in front of one hung from a local fire engine.
Great job Maple Point Middle School!!!!
