Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!
On Monday, we will observe Veterans Day, a time to honor and remember the men and women who have served our country. This day is not only a well-deserved break from school, but a reminder of the sacrifices made by veterans in order to protect our freedoms and way of life.
As a community, it’s important that we take a moment to reflect on their bravery and commitment. Whether through attending local ceremonies, sharing stories of veterans within your family, or simply taking a moment of silence, we encourage all families to find a way to honor these heroes.
We are grateful for the courage and dedication of all who have served and continue to serve. Thank you for helping us instill in our students the importance of respect, gratitude, and patriotism.
Have a meaningful and reflective Veterans Day.
Christine Firth, Principal
