This week was full of excitement and pride for our school and community.
On Tuesday, our school hosted a special Veterans Day program to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Students, teachers, and families gathered in the auditorium to recognize 18 veterans who joined us. The audience listened to patriotic music sang by our elementary students, speeches, and a slideshow to show appreciation for their service. It was a meaningful event that reminded everyone how important our veterans are to our freedom.
Basketball season is also in full swing, and our teams have been busy on the court.
