The YCHS Kays have honored the Woodson County Veterans for several years. As November 11 nears this Fall the celebration will continue but in a different way. We are unable to host events in the auditorium. This year the KAYS will be visiting each Veteran and honoring them individually on November 10 with a yard sign and special gifts delivered to their door. If you would like to be included on this special day contact the High School at 620~625~8820 or contact Tasha Steele.
