BRTC Celebrates Veterans Day

Veterans Day Reminder Box

PARAGOULD, AR. Dec. 4— Dr. Dianna Fraley and her US Since 1876 History classes honored veterans on November 11, 2020, by setting up reminder boxes and recording an informative podcast.

At the end of the recording, the students thanked veterans for their service and sacrifice.

Student participating in the audio recording were Kacey Johnson, Kaylee Pence, Austin Hayes, Brieanna Burrow, Chole Hudson, Jerry Gardner, and Alex Roberts, Samantha Forehand, Liz Laffoon, Rebecca Klutts, Preston Crawford, Andrew Hollis, Talon Kieffner, Tristin Judd, and Hayley Davis.
