Every year for Veteran's Day Katy Junior High puts on a big VD ceremony. We invite dignitaries from around Katy, Veteran's and have a big performance from our band/orchestra/choir. It's a big deal for our kids because they get dressed up and get out of class and we put a big emphasis on how important these people are. But it's an even bigger deal for our Veterans. The art students have patriotic art hung in the halls, in English the students write poems to Veterans and the cheerleaders "host" our VIP's as they enter the school.
My dad has attended the past two years with his guys from the American Legion group and had the best time. He's so cute in his hat! :) This year the mayor of Katy spoke and talked to the kids about how to enjoy the freedom they posses and to thank the Vets for said freedom. He did a wonderful job.
KHS also does a great halftime routine each year to "Salute to America's Finest." This is Dad standing at the game when they acknowledged the Marine Corps.
Thanks to all the Veterans who work hard to support our freedom.
