Bataan Elementary School hosted veterans, first responders, and family members during their annual Veterans Day Program on Friday, November 11, 2022. The 5th grade team organized the program, and the 5th grade students led the entire program including the welcome, introductions, and closing.
The Deming High School JROTC presented the colors and Mrs. Au, Bataan’s Music Teacher, sang the National Anthem to open the program. The event was full of performances from students to honor our veterans, Mayor Benny Jasso read the Veterans Day Proclamation passed by the City of Deming, and Jay Block was the keynote speaker. A slide show was shown that honored the veterans and first responders who attended the program as well as veteran and first responder relatives of students, former students, and staff. The program concluded with a catered meal from Si Senor.
