Montgomery Catholic Students Honor Veterans

Each year, Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School campuses pray for our Veterans and find appropriate ways to honor them for Veterans Day.

This year the sixth grade at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School St. Bede campus gathered together honoring our Veterans as teacher Mrs. Mary Pears read America's White Table by Margot Ravenand while her sixth grade class set a "White Table" of their own which remained in the cafeteria for the day to remind students of the sacrifice our veterans have given in service to our country.
