The Centre parking lot was full on Veterans Day as students and community members joined together to honor veterans and active military personnel.
Several veterans and service men and women introduced themselves and stated in which branch of the military they served and when. Each of the 15 veterans in attendance received a balloon.
Elementary and junior high school students sang patriotic songs and presented several skits. The high school choir sang “Going Home.”
The audience joined the students in singing, “This Land is Your Land,” “America the Beautiful,” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”
Afterward, refreshments were served to the honored guests.
