“We try to put something together each year to explain to the students what Veterans Day means,” said Secondary School Principal Dr. Mark Burke. “We want to remind them why we should be so grateful to our veterans.”
Earlier that day, the Elementary School will begin its day with a Leadership Breakfast, in which students will invite the important veterans in their lives to enjoy muffins, coffee and juice. Following breakfast, the entire Elementary student body will be involved in a very special Leader in Me assembly, designed to recognize veterans for their service.
“I am very proud of our staff and students for taking the time to honor those men and women who have fought so bravely to protect our freedoms,” said Superintendent Kevin Kimmel. “I’m looking forward to enjoying all the day’s activities with our school family and veterans from our community. Thank you all for your service.”
