Today, we held a Veterans Day assembly for students in grades 6–12. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Matt Sneed spoke to students about the history and significance of Veterans Day, emphasizing the importance of remembering and honoring those who have served. He then introduced veterans James Smart, Catherine Sowell, and Grady Reynolds, giving students the meaningful opportunity to ask questions and learn directly from their experiences.
The VFW also recognized student achievements in this year’s essay competitions.
• Patriot’s Pen (Middle School): Ethan Riggin and Dillion Christenson
• Voice of Democracy (High School):
1st Place – Dakota Hughes
2nd Place – Camille Harrison
3rd Place – Mylie Newland
We extend our deepest appreciation to all veterans for their service, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting the freedoms we value every day. 🇺🇸
