Veterans Day is the day when we have to honor the people who help protect and serve our country. Each grade was given a color. 6th grade - white, 7th grade - blue, 8th Grade - Red. The Veteran's Day program was hosted on Friday, November 8th, at 9:00 A.M in the south gym. The public was allowed to attend the program. Once all the grades were in the gym the color guards began putting up the flags. The YMS bands began playing; they did a wonderful job and so did the choir and Orchestra. Then finally YMS special guest gave her speech about how Veterans day is important because people served for our country and how many lives were lost. After that YMS students and staff saw people's family members that served for our country. The YMS thanks everyone for participating in the wonderful 19th Annual Veteran’s Day Program and honoring all who served for us and all who are serving.
