Olympia Holds Veterans Day Assembly

By True Ledford, OHS Torch Reporter

Olympia High School and Middle School will be hosting a Veteran’s Day assembly in the high school gymnasium at 8:30 a.m. November 11 to honor our veterans and service men and women currently serving.

The assembly will be held this Tuesday in the OHS gymnasium. Olympia students, family, and friends will be attending. The guests of honor are Sarah Nannen, widow of Major Reid Nannen, and local veterans. 

            The combined OHS and OMS band and chorus will be performing at the ceremony. They will perform patriotic songs. A number of high school and middle school students will read essays they have written in honor of our veterans.

             This years theme is: Why do our  veterans sacrifice so much for us? Olympia is hosting this event in honor of our veterans and to show our appreciation for their sacrifices.
