Logan High School Celebrates Veteran’s Day

By Shannon Kats

Under the direction of Mrs. Kelsey Pinkerton, students in Grades K-10 and band students in Grades 5-10 honored area veterans with an outstanding afternoon performance on Wednesday.

After Posting of the Colors, the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance, principal Lisa Orsak welcomed guests to the program. Veterans were recognized by standing as each military branch song was played, and then later, pictures and names of local and family veterans were displayed in a slide show.

The Quilts of Honor presented a quilt to Sandy Bunnell for her service in the US Air Force, and several high school students read the touching poem “I Am a Veteran.”

With flags waving, saluting the flag, and some fun choreography, students performed a variety of songs including “Fifty Nifty United States,” “God Bless America,” “American Soldier” and the grand finale, “God Bless the USA.” After the program, the KAY members served cookies and punch during a reception in the lunchroom.

A very special thank you to our veterans for attending the program. Thank you also to the many community members who came for this event. It was close to a packed house!
