Veterans Day

Utley Middle Schooled honored the veterans in our community this past week with a Veterans Day breakfast and ceremony. Veterans and their families were invited to a special breakfast and then made their way to the Performing Art Center, where students and staff honored them in various ways.

Mr. Erwin ushered in the flags with the UMS Color Guard and the UMS Choir, directed by Mr. Behne, sang our national anthem.

Throughout the program, Utley students found different ways to recognize our community's veterans.
