Marce Herz Middle School held its fourth annual Veterans Day Luncheon, welcoming veterans, active-duty service members and military families to campus for a meal with students.
The Washoe County School District (WCSD) school announced the event in a post on its website, saying students shared conversations with guests, listened to stories of military service and expressed gratitude for their sacrifice. Among the honored guests were family members of Herz students and staff, according to the school.
The luncheon gave students a chance to hear firsthand from people who have served in the military. That direct connection is the point of the tradition, now in its fourth year.
Students, staff and families worked together to put on the event, the school said.
Four community partners helped make the luncheon possible, according to the school: Dolan Auto Group, Al and Sue Babb, Reno Elks Lodge and Poi Boy Catering.
Washoe Schools promoted the event on X, calling it "a special tradition that gives students the opportunity to connect with, learn from, and thank those who have served our nation."
