Wayne County School students had a number of heroes to be inspired by at the recent Veterans Day celebrations. It was quite a day for teachable moments with opportunities for students to participate in and learn from individuals that know the real meaning of service.

Local Timber Businessman Tim Bertram shared highlights of his 18 years of military service and four deployments. He also shared his four years of WC JROTC training and his National Guard C Battery experience, noting he did not look at his service as a task, but instead as an honor. Comradery with other veterans was something he mentioned he appreciated along with being able to serve his community.

CW4 (Retired) William Inman returned to Monticello to provide a great Veterans Day program along with the JROTC cadets. Local veterans attended the annual solemn program along with the high school students.

Several Wayne County High School Art students entered the General Federation of Women’s Clubs of Kentucky annual art contest thanks to the Monticello Women’s Club sponsorship.

Senture sponsored the anti-bullying poster contest with three students producing winning artwork.
