Honoring Our Veterans
In recognition of Veterans Day, we invite families to share copies of photographs of loved ones who have served in the armed forces (please do not send original photos). Along with each photo, please include the service member’s name, the student’s name(s) they are related to, the branch of service, and dates of service.
These photos will be mounted on cardstock and displayed outside the cafeteria during the week of Veterans Day. Photos submitted last year have been saved and will be displayed again. If you would like to confirm that your photo will be included or prefer it not be displayed, please contact Julie Hoth.
Photos may be submitted to teachers or placed in the PTA box beginning Monday, October 26, through Friday, November 6th. For questions, please reach out to Julie Hoth at juliehoth15@gmail.com or (801) 725-8766.
Thank you for helping us honor and celebrate our veterans for their service and sacrifice!
