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.

Classes will be dismissed on Monday, November 18 in order for the teaching staff to have a mandated planning work session day from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m.

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.

Unique pasta, gourmet fun, gift boxes and sets, soups and chilis, and mac 'n cheese are available. The Greece Travel Study students are selling Fun Pasta through Wednesday, November 13. This a unique and very cool way to support Wayne County travel abroad students.
