The Clarkston Junior High honored 2008 Clarkston graduate Lieutenant Lindsay Shababy (Stone) at the annual Veterans’ Day Ceremony, Nov. 4.
Lt. Shababy is currently serving with the Military Police in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The ninth grade students hosted Lt. Shababy’s family during the outdoor ceremony in the Jenna Beno Memorial Courtyard.
The choir sang the National Anthem and America the Beautiful, and a mosaic stone was laid in honor of her service to the country.
Featured speakers included Clarkston High School teacher Danielle Fuller and student Emily Welanko who gave a moving, “Why We Celebrate Veterans’ Day” speech.
Each year CJHS honors a veteran with ties to Clarkston Community Schools and participates in a fundraiser celebrating all veterans. This year, students are collecting donations to install a flag pole in the yard of a veteran.
