Students from Weatherly Area Elementary and Middle Schools attended their annual Veterans Day assembly on Friday morning.

The program included speeches about the holiday, local history, and about the veterans.

Local veterans were honored by the speakers, and by a film where students said thanks personally. Then the veterans received a gift from the kindergarten students.

The high school band performed “Stars and Stripes Forever” and the elementary school chorus sang “I’m Proud to Call America My Home.”

Speakers included teacher Patricia Flowers in her Army uniform, history teacher Shane Moran, local resident and parent Staff Sgt. Barry Snider, and keynote speaker Technical Sgt. Andrew Schmid.

The program concluded with the singing of “Found/Tonight,” followed by “Taps.”
