THANK YOU VETERANS! Also, a big thank you to Mr. Smiddy, the High School Honor Guard, and 3 of Staunton's finest Veterans (George Compton, Brad Lemke, & Wayne Bruhn), who continue to share their love of country and passion with our students. The Honor Guard, in its inaugural year, graced the students with the presentation of colors as they marched through the halls of SCUSD #6. One could hear a pin drop as they made their way through. A humble reminder how much our troops of present and past, mean to us at Staunton Schools. Happy Veteran's Day everyone!
