Veterans Day: No School on Friday, November 10th

Schools and offices will be closed on Friday, November 10th in observation of Veterans Day.


Veterans Day is November 11th and there’s no better time to honor those who served. Whether it’s a small token of your appreciation, a care package, donating your time, or supporting Veteran-Owned businesses, there are endless ways to recognize the brave men and women who have served in the U.S. Military.


We want to take a moment to thank members of our Battlefield community who have served, or who are currently serving in the U.S. Military. Thank you for your courage, strength and dedication to keeping us safe.
