Pine Street Elementary School fifth- and sixth-graders will honor local veterans at the annual Veterans Day Ceremony at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 9, in the Pearl Street gym.
During the ceremony, students are selected to help escort the colors in the Grand Entrance of Armed Forces and to greet guests. One sixth-grader will be chosen to recite the poem In Flanders Field. The sixth grade choir will perform and a high school band student will play Taps. Students also will present thoughts on what a veteran means to them.
Immediately following the ceremony, the Wayland VFW Post #7581 will serve light refreshments for veterans and their families. Pine Street students will read their appreciation letters to the veterans.
The public and local veterans are invited to attend the ceremony.
The actual date of Veterans Day is Nov. 11, but it falls on a Sunday.
