East Sac County held its Veterans Day program this afternoon. Veterans and community members came in and enjoyed appetizers arranged by Mrs. Erpelding's foods 1 and baking and pastry's classes, and then went into the small gym for a program planned by Mrs. Olerich's 8th grade social studies students, we had guest speaker Jake Schade to talk about his time in the military and appreciation of all other veterans, as well as a presentation of our folded flag to our own veteran who works in our building, Mr. Kohn!! The high school band played the national anthem and all of the songs of each branch of the military! It was a great way to celebrate our Veterans!! East Sac County would like to thank all who have served our country, from every branch of the United States Military!

This morning at ESC Elementary, we honored our Veterans as they were our special guests for High Five Friday. After many high fives, we had a short assembly where students learned why we celebrate Veteran's Day, our guests were able to introduce themselves and what branch they served, followed by another round of high fives as students left the gym! Thank you to those who joined us today and to all our Veterans for their service!
