Carson City students are recognizing and honoring military men and women this week with Veteran’s Day displays and events. Veterans from all branches of military service, as well as families of students, have been encouraged to attend events today, tomorrow and Tuesday. Campus visitors should check in at the front office at each school site.

“Providing students with opportunities to recognize the sacrifices others make is highly beneficial at both school and at home,” said Richard Stokes, superintendent. “Appreciation is not a difficult skill to execute. Patriotic events and displays like these fill many with gratitude, which in turn makes us happier, more likeable and healthier."

Carson Middle School celebrated Veteran’s Day earlier this morning with a special ‘Veteran’s Salute Concert’ where the school choir and marching band performed a selection of patriotic songs to thank all of the brave men and woman who have formerly or currently served in the U.S. military.
