Riverton High School Honors Veterans with Sunrise Flag Raising Ceremony

Posted on

Students and staff at Riverton High School came together to honor those who have served in the armed forces by hosting a moving sunrise Veterans Day program. For more than 15 years, students and staff have gathered in front of the school at sunrise on Veterans Day to pay tribute to local veterans and their families. Student Body Officers read a presidential proclamation after raising the flags, followed by a moment of silence. Principal Rochell Waite read the names of veterans working at the school and acknowledged the many family members of staff who have or are currently serving in the armed forces.

Riverton High School takes great pride in honoring the sacrifice of those who protect and serve. Thank you to everyone who helps to carry on this remarkable legacy of celebrating those who have given so much to our country.

Veterans from different branches of the U.S. military were met with applause, big smiles, praise, and gratitude as they paraded through classrooms, one after another, at South Valley School today. Many of the veterans were family, friends, or employees of South Valley, and the students and staff were eager to ask them some questions and most importantly, thank them for their service. The veterans delivered small flags to every student they encountered. Some classes gave the veterans a small gift and hand-written cards of thanks.

It was a proud and emotional show of support for the men and women who sacrificed for our country in order to protect the many freedoms we all enjoy today!
