Veteran's ceremony


The Jr./Sr. High Held a Veteran's breakfast and ceremony on Monday.  The morning started with a wonderful breakfast prepared by faculty and staff, which was served by the National Honor Society. To begin, the ceremony the Choir performed Mansions of the Lord, Star Spangled Banner, and the National Anthem.  Bailey Hoffman read about the five emblems of the Armed Forces.  The Dakota Band then performed a medley of each services anthem.  For their final number the band played a piece called Within these Hallowed Walls.  This piece was an arrangement of two beloved hymns (Amazing Grace and The Battle Hymn of the Republic).  The narration was done by Sam Sherman.  The ceremony ended by Tyler Pieper performing Taps.   
 Thank you to all of our veteran's for serving our country.  We are Proud of You.
