As is tradition, both schools in the Lakeland School System (LSS) will honor veterans with programs at their respective campuses this week.
LES
There will be two programs at LES (Lakeland Elementary School) Thursday (11.8.18): 9:30 a.m. for grades 2-4; and 11:30 a.m. for grades PK-1, according to Kristen Nichols, program chair and second grade teacher.
“Our theme this year is ’Forever Remembered’ and we will honor our special heroes,” said Mrs. Nichols. “We will be featuring our GLEE Club under the new direction of Dianne Davis and our little ones will be singing a new song under the direction of our newest music teacher, Robin Smith.
“We will also have our LMPS (Lakeland Middle Preparatory School) Band and Strings play for us during the programs.”
LMPS
LMPS Veterans’ Day Program will be Friday (11.9.18) starting at 9:30 a.m., according to Leann Albert, program chair and 6th – 7th grade science teacher.
LMPS serves students in grades 5-8 and they have been asked to dress in red, white or blue by grade level.
Matt Adler, principal at LMPS, will introduce the program with David Greene, a retired Navy veteran, as the featured speaker.
The LMPS Band, Choir and Orchestra will perform under the guidance of Directors Anneliese Land, Tonya Miller and Paula Turner.
Lakeland high school students attend Arlington High School through an interlocal between the cities until a high school is built in Lakeland.
