Lake Geneva Middle School hosted its annual Veterans Day celebration this morning.
The program featured patriotic music performed by the school’s seventh and eighth grade orchestras, bands and combined choirs, directed by Mrs. Lauren Klement, Mrs. Amanda Krause, and Mrs. Kim May and accompanied by Mrs. Carol Berndt.
Colors were posted by the Color Guard from Post 24 of The American Legion, located in Lake Geneva. Veterans who attended the program “passed the microphone” to introduce themselves and announced when and where they served.
Following the assembly, community members, family members of students who are veterans, spouses of veterans, or widows of veterans attended a luncheon at the middle school. The lunch was prepared and served by eighth graders from Mrs. Tara Borland’s family and consumer science class.
