Seckman Middle School
and Seckman High School came together this year to
honor the veteran’s and heroes within the community. Both schools hosted
a veterans’/ heroes breakfast at SMS on Friday, November 9th.
Many organizations, students, teachers, and community volunteers worked
together to make the ceremony a huge success. The community Brownie Troop
decorated the guest speaker table with a home made table skirt and table
decorations. Various clubs and organizations at SHS decorated the gym with
posters and SMS students decked out the halls with patriotic themed artwork,
crafts, and decorations.
The ceremony included a catered breakfast from South County
Cracker Barrel, special musical selections from SMS and SHS choirs, SMS and SHS
band performances, three guest speakers including Mr. Walter Crawford from the
World Bird Sanctuary, Al Cochren from Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, and
Matt Lary, author of Victory
Through Valor. All guests that attended the ceremony were recognized
with a Hero certificate, goodie bag, a metal of thanks pin, and a thank you
card placemat. The spouses were also recognized during the ceremony in honor of
their support. Taps was played by a SHS student, guests watched a video showing
the SMS student body reciting the Preamble, and the ceremony was concluded with
the Walk of Honor. Students and staff lined the halls thanking the guests
for keeping America
free. Through the combined efforts of SMS, SHS, and members in the community,
the 6th annual Veterans/Hero breakfast proudly recognized the men
and women that serve(d) our country.
