❤️🤍💙🐾 Wyandotte Wolves Honor Our Veterans 🐾❤️🤍💙
Last Thursday, November 6th, the Wyandotte Wolves came together for a beautiful Veterans Day Assembly to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. It was a moving tribute, and we were so grateful to welcome several veteran members of our community and recognize their service and sacrifice.
A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Stark and Mrs. Lowe for guiding and supporting our Wyandotte Leadership Students as they planned and led such a meaningful program.
As part of the assembly, students dedicated a White Table — inspired by the book “America’s White Table” by Margot Theis Raven — a powerful symbol of remembrance for those who could not join us but will never be forgotten.
We are so proud of our Wolves 🐺 for showing such respect, gratitude, and leadership. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
