Schmucker Middle School Honors Veterans

Schmucker Middle School eighth-grade students and staff welcomed veterans on Wednesday, Nov. 11, for the school’s annual Veterans Day ceremony. The event continued a longstanding tradition of honoring the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Guest speaker Jodie Flagle, a retired Marine, addressed those in attendance as part of the program recognizing veterans’ service and sacrifices. The ceremony provided students with an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of Veterans Day and show their appreciation for those who have served our country, including members of their own families.

Following the ceremony, veterans gathered for a reception featuring pastries and light refreshments, offering guests an opportunity to visit and connect with one another.

Schmucker Middle School thanks Jodie Flagle and all veterans who attended for their service and dedication to our country, as well as the staff and volunteers whose work made the ceremony and reception a meaningful experience for veterans and students.
