Stanley County, Pierre School Districts hosting Veterans Day programs

By Diane Deis Nov 11, 2019 | 9:02 AM

The Pierre School District is holding several Veterans Day programs today (Nov. 11).

  • Kennedy Elementary-Veteran’s Day Concert at 8:30am in the Kennedy gym.
  • Riggs High School Veteran’s Day Program at 10:30am in the theatre.
  • Buchanan Elementary Veteran’s Day Performance by the 5th grade students at 1:30pm in the Buchanan gym.
  • Jefferson Elementary Veteran’s Day Program at 2pm in the Jefferson gym.
  • Georgia Morse Middle School will be doing in classroom activities during the day, one of which includes writing letters to Veterans.

Supt. Dr. Kelly Glodt says quite a few years have passed since administrators made the decision to hold school on Veteran’s Day. He says this has been a positive change for a variety of reasons– the biggest being the students have learned a great deal about the importance of Veteran’s Day and honoring those who have served our country.

Glodt says it takes a great deal of effort by staff and students to prepare to honor our Veterans and it’s worth every minute. He says all of the Veteran’s Day events throughout the Pierre School District are all open to the public.

The Stanley County School District is holding its annual Veterans Day program today (Nov. 11) at 2:30pm CT in Parkview Auditorium. The public is welcome to attend. Coffee and cookies will be served for veterans and their families prior to the program (2-2:30pm) in the Parkview Board Room.
