🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes at WMS 🇺🇸
Today, Wakulla Middle School proudly celebrated Veterans Day with a Veteran's Day Ceremony— a heartfelt morning dedicated to honoring those who have served our country.
Our celebration began with a special breakfast for our visiting veterans, followed by moving student speeches that reflected gratitude and respect for their sacrifice.
We were especially honored to have Mr. Bill Peck, WMS teacher and veteran, who spoke at our ceremony. We are thankful for his service and continued dedication to our students.
Thank you to all the veterans who joined us today and to everyone who helped make this event so meaningful. ❤️
