Each year, Wesson Attendance Center hosts a heartfelt Veterans Day event to honor the brave men and women who have served in the military. This year, as in years past, Post 79 took the lead in organizing a morning filled with gratitude and reflection.
The day began with a warm breakfast served to veterans in the school library, providing an opportunity for both students and veterans to connect. The breakfast is a cherished tradition, where veterans gather to enjoy a meal and share stories, and students show their appreciation for the sacrifices made by those who have served.
After the breakfast, the celebration moved to the school gymnasium for a formal program, attended by both students and local veterans. This program is an important part of the day, providing a chance for the school community to come together and honor the veterans who have dedicated their lives to protecting the freedoms we enjoy. The event typically includes speeches, patriotic music, and a tribute to the veterans in attendance.
Among those recognized at the event were two standout students from the school’s student leadership group—the Wesson Student Council. Abbey Berch, the Founders Day Queen, and Cailley Duplantis, a Founders Day Princess, were both present and contributed to the success of the program. Both Abbey and Cailley are also active members of the American Legion Auxiliary as teen leaders, supporting local veterans through various service activities.
The Wesson Student Council, led by sponsors Tomeka Brice, William Love, and Sarah Logan, plays a key role in organizing the event each year. Their dedication to honoring veterans and ensuring that the event runs smoothly is a testament to the strong sense of community and patriotism at Wesson Attendance Center.
Veterans Day at Wesson Attendance Center is more than just a day of ceremony; it’s a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women in uniform and the importance of remembering their contributions to our country. Thanks to the collaboration between the Wesson Student Council, local veterans, and the American Legion Auxiliary, the spirit of gratitude and respect for our nation’s heroes continues to thrive in this small community.
