Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach Veterans Day, our school community takes time to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. This week is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about the importance of service, gratitude, and respect. Our Veterans Day program will take place this Tuesday, November 11th, at 9 am.
Throughout the week, students will participate in classroom discussions and activities to understand what Veterans Day means and why it’s important to recognize those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedoms. We encourage you to talk with your children at home about any family members or friends who are veterans and share their stories—these conversations help make the holiday meaningful and personal.
We are so grateful for the members of our community who have served and for the families who support them. Thank you for partnering with us in teaching our students about appreciation, community, and kindness.
Warm regards,
Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.
Principal
