On Monday, Nov. 8 at 6 p.m. Quemado Schools will hold their annual Veterans Day Program in the school gym. “This is a time to pay tribute to our Veterans and our Country” said Kelly Goss who is coordinating the event. Many of the Quemado students will be helping by giving various performances during the evening. Everyone is welcome to come and help celebrate and honor our Veterans.
Veterans Day is Thursday, Nov. 11. I would like to acknowledge several of the Quemado family members currently serving our country:
