Veterans Day/Poppy Artwork/Philly Pretzel Sale
🇺🇸Veterans Day Assembly
We will not be having our traditional Veterans Day assembly this year BUT WES CSC had the opportunity to meet with Sgt. Kamson and some of his fellow soldiers via Zoom on Thursday, November 4th. These service men and women spoke with us about what drew them to join the military, their career so far in their respective branch and what life is like on base. Sgt. Kamson and another male soldier are currently Stateside. Two of the women soldiers were overseas, one currently stationed in Poland and the other in Egypt. It was amazing to hear their stories and we were able to gain more appreciation for the sacrifices these men and women make every day to keep our country safe.
🎼 A video, courtesy of Mrs. Lewis, will be pushed out to all students and faculty with recordings of our students singing grade level Veterans Day songs.
