Dear Windsong Ranch Families,
We are so thankful for our Veterans' service and sacrifice and look forward to seeing our families come together to celebrate our heroes on Wednesday at 9:30am. We'll start in the cafeteria with our Veterans, then all WRE families are welcome to join us out front for a parade. Afterwards, The Bridge is hosting a reception for Veterans and their families from 10 - 12. Veterans and their families: please complete the Verkada link by 11/9 in order to have a pre printed badge.
With only 2 weeks remaining until Thanksgiving Break, that means our annual Grandparents & Special Friends Day is coming up quick! This year's event will be held on 11/19 and 11/20. In case you missed the special newsletter with all the details, click here. We don't want you to miss out!
Have a great weekend and we'll see you back at The Ranch on Monday!
