Veterans Day A Digital Story By Sharon Synan

On November 11, 2009 WJMS celebrates Veterans Day

We decorated the halls with tribute.

The atrium welcomed them into the building.

The students were gathered.

The band played.

The chorus sang.

Patriotic music filled the gym.

Our veteran speaker gave an informative, moving speech. We learned about Armistice Day and we heard the stories of many local veterans and how they have sacrificed for our freedoms.

The students listened and behaved wonderfully.

Together we honored our veterans.

WJMS thanks all our veterans with a spirit of panther pride.
