Bensalem Middle School Holds Veterans Day Assembly

Bensalem Township School District's Robert K. Shafer Middle School hosted a Veterans' Day assembly for their eighth grade students.

The assembly opened with the presentation of the American flag by the Bensalem High School JROTC students and the eighth grade chorus singing the National Anthem, and included introductions and remarks from District administrators and local government officials and their representatives.

Joseph Trucks, a local Korean War veteran, spoke about how Veterans Day became a national holiday. The students also heard from Shafer teacher Brian Bostic and Shafer Instructional Assistant Harold Piper.

The program treasured a slide presentation of family members of Shafer students and staff who have served in the Armed Forces.

After the assembly, a reception was held in the library for the honored guests and Shafer students who brought pictures of their relatives who are either veterans or currently serving in our armed forces.
