CMS West Veterans Day 2020

Veterans Day 2020

Welcome to our virtual Veterans Day celebration! In years past, CMS West has hosted memorable ceremonies to commemorate this holiday and honor our nation's veterans. In lieu of a physical assembly this year, our Social Studies Department has created this site to pay homage to the men and women who have served in our nation's armed forces.

Please explore this page and those that follow to learn more about Veterans Day, to honor those in our #westfam who have served our nation, and to explore our school's history of celebrating this important holiday.
