ILHS Veterans Day Celebration
Posted on 11/11/2024
This is the image for the news article titled ILHS Veterans Day CelebrationIndian Lake High School and Middle School students honored local members of the military during this year's ILHS Veterans Day Luncheon and Celebration.
Dozens of local veterans and some active members of the military gathered for a hearty meal in the ILHS Auxiliary gym served by members of various ILHS Clubs.
Then they moved into the Auditorium for a recognition ceremony. Each veteran was introduced as they entered the assembly and escorted to their seat. ILHS Student Council members led the Pledge of Allegiance and senior Daniel Wahl sang the National Anthem.
Three Indian Lake Middle School students were invited on stage to read their essays of thankfulness to the veterans. Their essays were selected from a group of submitted works at ILMS. Students Samantha Altstaetter and Zeke McVety shared their essays, which emphasized how grateful they are for those people willing to serve our country. (ILMS students Ali Everhart was sick, so Cambria Tuttle read her essay.)
ILHS students explained the significance of the folds of the flag and Svea Martini played "Taps." Both the ILHS Chorale and ILHS Band offered up patriotic music, as well. 
The event ended with students personally thanking the veterans and getting photos with loved ones.
