Making sure veterans get the support and recognition they deserve has been a personal mission for Jacquie Wood, starting during her career as a teacher at Montague Area Public Schools.
Wood put on a veteran’s concert throughout her 33-year tenure and they weren’t just elementary school kids singing or playing patriotic songs. Wood went all in on the production and brought in different speakers throughout the years, including a general in her final veteran’s concert, to give her students a chance to learn from people with real-world experience. It also gave the students a chance to appreciate and learn about the sacrifices that they make.
