Olymia parent and Army National Guard Veteran, Mr. Marc White, was the special guest speaker today at the OHMS Veterans Day assembly. His message focused on connecting the military’s core values with Olympia’s core values, emphasizing the importance of respect, responsibility, and relationships. Several Olympia students shared excerpts stressing the importance of honoring our Veterans. The OHMS choir and band performed the Armed Forces Medley-Pride of America as we recognized the various branches of the military. Over 40 local Veterans attended the assembly including World War II Veteran Mr. Ben Maurer. Thank you to all Veterans for your sacrifices and service.
