On Thursday, November 11th, our high school held a program for our fellow veterans. The program showed how much we appreciate the veterans that live in the Cedar Grove and Belgium area.
The program began with an introduction by Joe Sopko, who was one of the few who spoke at this event. He introduced the main speaker, Glen Grothman. Joe set the mood for the program; emphasizing all that our military does for us and inspiring us to reevaluate our priorities. Both Glen Grothman and Joe Sopko had moving speeches that we all enjoyed.
Another person that spoke was Jackie Sopko, who is a senior and the president of the student council here at Cedar Grove-Belgium. She was honored to introduce both of the speakers for the veterans program, and she felt that the program overall was a success. Jackie Sopko said “I thought the program was touching and I’m glad I got to speak and honor the veterans.”
Another segment of our program was organized by Mrs. Mersberger, a 7th grade teacher in the middle school. She selected two of her students to read essays that described what a veteran really means to them. The two 7th graders that spoke were Greg Wenzel and Erin Bagatta.
