Seventh Graders Recognize Veterans at TCMS

Twelve Corners Middle School seventh graders came together on Nov. 10 to honor those who have served our country during the school’s annual Veterans Day assembly. The program provided an opportunity for students to learn more about the importance of Veterans Day.
Before the assembly, Student Council hosted a luncheon for the veterans. The veterans spent time with students, shared stories of their service, and answered students’ questions.
Choir students performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” and a cello quintet performed “Shenandoah.” Student Council members then shared the history of Veterans Day and read the poem “In Flanders Fields.”

The guest speaker for the event was U.S. Navy recruiter and Chief Petty Officer Charlton Harley. He encouraged students to perform acts of service in their community.

The program continued with a video of students thanking veterans. Students presented certificates to each veteran in attendance. They were:

• Bruce Henninger, who reached the rank of captain in the Army
• Brighton Transportation Supervisor Tom Hyman, who reached the rank of lieutenant in the Navy
• TCMS social studies teacher Chris Montulli, who reached the rank of petty officer second class in the Navy 

Thank you to the veterans who attended our assembly and all veterans who have served our country!
