Middlesex Middle School students celebrated Veterans Day at a special assembly featuring six veterans who shared their experiences through stories, photos and videos. The celebration opened with the MMS Camerata Singers’ rendition of The Star Spangled Banner, followed by a Veterans Day video, talks by the guest speakers, an “I am an American” reading by several students, and the Taps bugle call to end the program.
