On November 11, 2024, Learwood Middle School held a deeply moving Veterans Day tribute, honoring those who have served in the U.S. military. The event was made possible through the collaborative efforts of our dedicated students and staff, whose contributions created a memorable occasion.
The tribute included thoughtful reflections from student speakers, who eloquently expressed gratitude for the sacrifices made by veterans. A special highlight was the inspiring words from our two Veteran guest speakers, Specialist E-4, Les Carrender, U.S Army and Chief Avionics Electrical Technician, Spenser Hughes, Coast Guard Active. Each spoke about their background, their reasons for joining, and thanked the Veterans in attendance for their varied sacrifices, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
Musical performances by the school band and choir added a powerful, emotional layer to the event, resonating with an audience of over 130 veterans and family members. Behind the scenes, our Student Council, kitchen staff, Ms. McCarty, Ms. Adler, Mrs. Corbin, and Mr. Kozich worked tirelessly to coordinate every detail, ensuring the tribute’s success.
The combined efforts of students, staff, and special guests made this Veterans Day ceremony a meaningful reminder of the importance of honoring our veterans' service and sacrifices.
