Dear 5^th grade families:

     On November 11th, we would like to honor our Veterans.  If you or a relative would be interested and available to come in at 8:15 AM on Thursday morning, please complete the form below.  

     Our plan is to have a light breakfast for the Veterans and then have them speak to the students about the importance of serving our country. We would love for them to share the different ways they’ve served and where they were stationed.  We would also like the students to understand the ways they are able to serve our country now and in the future.

     If you know someone who is on active duty in the Armed Forces or a veteran who is not able to come in on Thursday the 11th, we would like to make a card to send to him/her.

Thank you,

The 5^th grade teachers

Please return this form to Mrs. Martin by Thursday, November 4th .
