Veterans from various branches of the armed forces visited Harper Creek Middle School, on Tuesday, November 7. An assembly was held for them in honor of Veterans Day, celebrated on November 11.
The entire HCMS student body participated in posing questions ranging from inquiring about basic training, which branch had the best "chow," the importance of discipline and living a healthy lifestyle, to the brotherhood and sisterhood bond formed in the service.
During the presentation, seventh-grade social studies teacher and organizer of this event, Adam Ries was presented with the Veteran's Advocate medal.

As a child and a student, Becky was involved in many activities, making her a well-rounded child and helping her to hone many skills that would help her as an adult and a teacher for Harper Creek Schools. She seemed to thrive with this model. It has served her well with the variety of roles she has filled during her time at Harper Creek, starting in 2001.
