MCS Salutes Veterans
Veterans Day tributes were on full display this week throughout Madison City Schools.
Parades, honor walls, poster-lined car lines, packed gymnasium programs, and special breakfasts and lunches were among the observances saluting our veterans.
Every campus paid tributes in some form or fashion.
Parents and grandparents who are veterans attended many of the ceremonies, often walking or being driven through a lineup of cheering students.
Liberty Middle gave a reception to a bus load of veterans from the Tut Fann Veterans Nursing Home, who then joined other veteran family members of LMS students in an assembly in the gym. During that program, World War II-veteran Walt Siffringer was presented a special quilt from the Quilts of Valor Foundation.
MCS employees who served were honored in special recognitions at schools. The transportation department paid tribute to bus drivers and support staff who served.
Madison City Schools extends heartfelt gratitude to all veterans, past and present, for their service. Your sacrifices to serve country are not taken for granted.
