RENOVO -- The Renovo Elementary School and faculty and staff of the Bucktail Campus played host to western Clinton County’s Veterans Day assembly as they honored veterans with patriotism that was on full display Wednesday morning. "250 Years of Protecting and Defending Our Nation” was this year’s theme for a program that offered so much to the community and those in attendance.
The school and Patricia Wilson have made the yearly event a two hour experience that provides students with a unique learning experience of what a veteran truly is, with decorated and celebrated experiences coming directly from veterans. Seniors Emma Getz, Miss Bucktail 26, and Kassidy Lovell, Miss Laurel Rep, hosted the event.
This year’s guest speakers included Harold “Dutch” Rinker, Pastor of the Zion Lutheran Church, Lieutenant PA State Police Trooper and retired US Air Force Veteran. “Dutch” seamlessly explained to the students how important reaching outside of yourself to help your community and neighbors, however you decide, before the retired Lieutenant also offered plenty of relatable life experiences to the veterans in the crowd.
2025 Bucktail graduates and current PA Army National Guard Combat Medics specialists Mattisyn Mason and Lily Sporny spoke virtually to the student body, of which they were part of less than two years ago.
The students bring plenty of smiles to the veterans and audience alike as they took part in the assembly, including to take to the stage for the program with songs and the Pledge of Allegiance, while the Bucktail Middle/High School Choir kicked off the event by singing “Armed Forces -- The Pride of America.”
