Saint Jo Elementary honors veterans
Saint Jo Elementary celebrated Veterans Day on Nov. 11 with an assembly to honor our veterans.
The program started with Linda Thompson playing patriotic songs on the piano.
The second grade class carried in the flags to post the colors.
The pre-kindergarten class led the Pledge of Allegiance, Pledge to the Texas Flag and Moment of Silence.
Mrs. Thompson then played The Star-Spangled Banner on the piano. Larry Smith, Superintendent, gave the welcome and recognition of all veterans.
The third grade class recited a poem to salute the veterans.
The kindergarten class sang, “Oh Veterans Day.”
The fifth grade class recited the poem, “You Can’t Tell a Vet Just By Looking.“
The fourth and sixth grade classes talked about the importance of music in our country and in the military. The classes also sang during the presentation.
The program was concluded with the playing of TAPS by Rocky Roberts.
The students were able to personally shake the hand of each veteran in attendance to tell them thank you for the service they gave to our country.
Saint Jo Elementary is so thankful to all of the veterans, community members, and parents that were in attendance for the program.

The Rural TIP is a list of local projects to be funded during the next four years in the Wichita Falls District of the Texas Department of Transportation.
The counties included are Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cooke, Montague, Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger, and Young. Transportation projects cannot receive federal funding unless they are included in the Rural TIP. This includes projects for private vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, public transport, and commercial vehicles.
A section of Roach Street has been closed for the last few weeks as a new sewer line was installed replacing old clay tile line. It is phase two of multi-phase sewer line project across the city funded through a Texas Water Development Board loan of more than $9.7 million. The project will replace nearly10 miles of aging lines. (News photo by Barbara Green)
