Honoring Our Veterans: Share Your Family’s Story
As Veterans Day approaches, we want to honor and celebrate the veterans within our school community. If your family has a member who has served in the military, we invite you to share a photo and a brief description of their service. These will be included in a special Veterans Day presentation at school.
Please submit your photos by Tuesday 11/5. We look forward to celebrating the service and sacrifice of our community’s veterans.
Thank you for your support.
