On Friday, November 7th, Martinsburg North Middle School proudly hosted our annual Veterans Day event, welcoming several veterans from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. Students showcased their talents as the NMS Band, Strings, and Choir performed patriotic music to honor those who serve. Members of the student council presented a moving reader’s theatre, highlighting the many challenges soldiers face both on the front lines and upon returning home.
