On the Eleventh day of the eleventh month on the eleventh hour, we stand back and say thank you to those who have fought for and defended our country. As Skidmore tradition, S-T ISD hosted its annual Veterans’ Day celebration at 9:00 a.m., Friday, November 9th. The students were asked to honor any and all family members that have served in one of our military branches. There were 45 Skidmore-Tynan community Veterans honored. The Ceremony began with each branch of the service represented by their individual flag and song.

As the Veterans entered the gymnasium, they received a standing ovation from all S-T students, faculty and staff. They were given a pin and recognized by their family member who honored them. The ceremony ended with the playing of Taps by the Skidmore-Tynan Bobcat band.

After the ceremony, the Veterans and their S-T student were invited to have refreshments and catch up with other veterans in the cafeteria.

Each campus participated and all should be commended on a job well done. We appreciate our Veterans and their commitment that was made to help keep America free. -- Submitted by Jennifer Chambers
