Thank you to the veterans who joined us for our 2026 Veterans Day program at Menahga Public Schools. We are grateful for your service and for the opportunity to honor you alongside our students, staff, and community.❤️🇺🇸💙

Student flag carriers from kindergarten through 12th grade joined local veterans for the presentation of the colors, and Ms. Redetzke’s first graders led the Pledge of Allegiance. The program also included the White Table Ceremony with FCCLA students, performances by our fifth grade choir and high school band and choir, and a moment of silence in honor and memory of those who served.

We also recognized our Voice of Democracy and Patriot’s Pen winners. Congratulations to these students, and thank you to Olivia and Whitney for sharing their first place essays during the program!

As part of the National Cardboard Challenge, our 5th grade Braves designed and built their own arcade games using cardboard and other recycled materials during STEM/MakerSpace time with Mrs. Lake. Fifth graders from Verndale built games of their own, then came to Menahga last Friday to share them.
Students took turns showing how their games worked, trying out each other’s creations, making new friends, and enjoying an "in school field trip". Thanks for spending Arcade Day with us, Verndale!🧡
