On Friday, November 10th Wauseon Local Schools held a Veterans Day Celebration. The celebration took place in the form of a parade. The parade style that the school does has been going on for three years now.

In the past the school has held programs at each individual school building with a guest speaker involved up until three years ago. The school started the parade due to COVID and not being able to have all of those people in the school building at once.

After the first year that the parade took place, the school got a lot of positive feedback from the Veterans on how they actually liked doing the celebration this way.

“As the Veterans are getting older, it makes it harder for them to get into the school to celebrate with us”, said High School Principal Keith Leatherman.

The parade consists of the High School band starting out and then the veterans drive behind them waving at all the kids that line the sidewalk holding signs that they made.

The school loves that they can honor their Veterans and they love to see the joy on the Veterans faces as they drive by.
