Veteran's Day

On Monday, November 11th, we had our Veteran's Day program at Sibley.  We started the program off with the Color Guard bringing in the flags, Dr. Funk spoke to us about the importance of the day, and we sang a few songs directed by Mrs. Bergene. At the end of our program we watched a slide show of pictures of people who are related to students at Sibley who have or are serving in the different branches of the military. We even found out Lance, our custodian, has served for many years in the military!  It was a very patriotic event!
 
After the program Gracie's dad came in to speak to us about his experiences.  He brought in his pack and student's were able to experience his Kevlar helmet, vests, and other clothing.  We were also able to ask questions about his uniform and duties he has been on. 
Mr. Enser is a trainer at Fort Ripley for  leadership classes for other military men. Thank you for visiting and serving our country!!
