As a member of the American Legion post in Hedley I attended the Veterans Day memorial at the Hedley School. A school in a very small town, but WOW! How impressive were the students who presented the program!
It was evident to me that the school teachers, principal Eric Alston, and Superintendent Garrett Bains were leading the students in learning their books. In addition, they were respecting of our visit and served us a Thanksgiving lunch.
Their musical songs were patriotic and well done by the Pre K and 5th graders. The program was guided by the older students Perla Carreon, Kadee McCleskey, Cara Lambert, Esteban Carreon, Collin Monroe, Mica Alvey, Zach Wells, Leandra Mestas, and Emma Lambert. Judge Messer told a moving story about his first court trial. I’m sure many of us had a tears in our eyes.
How fortunate we are living in Donley County with the fine schools to teach leadership and respect. This appreciation is from a Texan by choice.
