WMS Hosts Veteran’s Day Program

By Cassie Coben OM VFW Post 1345 Auxiliary President

Waldron Middle School, Mrs. Tammy Chronister, and the WMS Student Council held their yearly Veteran’s Day program today. As always it was a very heart-touching ceremony and we appreciate their efforts!

The Ouachita Mountains VFW Post 1345 and Auxiliary would like to thank Mrs. Rachael Poor for her hard work with the 8^thgrade students and the Patriot’s Pen Essay competition. We had close to 120 entries this year and Mrs. Poor always makes our job a bit easier by narrowing the number down to around 10. Members of the VFW Post and Auxiliary judged the remaining essays and chose the 3 winners. This year’s 1^st place winner with a prize of $300, is Harlow Dickens, 2^nd place, winning $200, Diann Balance and 3^rd place Stephanie Parish winning $100.

Once again, we thank everyone involved in making this program so awesome every year!
