It was an emotional program honoring veterans, and it was both meaningful and memorable for students, teachers, and staff at Mountain Creek Middle School. Each year on Veterans Day, the school makes sure military veterans are not forgotten by paying tribute to them in a special way.
This year, they honored 12 veterans from the local community. Military personnel from Camp Williams led a flag ceremony and the National Anthem was performed by the Mountain Creek Middle orchestra. Esesra Leota, a military veteran who was honored during the program, played a military medley on bagpipes, taps, and reveille (a bugle call that marks the beginning and end of the day on a military base). There were also remarks from Principal Mike Glenn and Major Norm Rentschler.
We are proud of Mountain Creek Middle School for going above and beyond with this program honoring those who serve to protect our freedoms.
