Day 3: Fluency 🗣️
Today, students across the Lead-Deadwood School District came together to recognize and honor the brave men and women who have served our country.
High school and middle school students, staff, veterans, and community members gathered to recognize the sacrifices of our nation's veterans. The program included performances by the LDHS Choir and Band, recognition of local veterans, and remarks from guest speaker Colonel Stacy L. Goodman.
Elementary students also participated in a Veterans Day assembly. Mr. McKeown shared the history and significance of Veterans Day and explained the symbolism of the Missing Man Table. The program also included a flag-folding ceremony presented by the Student Council. Students also had the opportunity to view special slideshows honoring veterans connected to our school community through both staff and student families.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all veterans for their service, sacrifice, and dedication to our country. Thank you for your service.
