General Announcements

In honor of Veterans’ Day November 11th, we would like to honor those people who made and make soldier’s jobs possible. During WW II, nearly 3 million teenage boys and girls went to work for US defense. They deferred their educations to make victory possible, working long hours each day in dangerous places such as shipyards and airplane fuselage plants. Please remember their contributions this Veterans’ Day.

This week we are celebrating Veteran’s Day. We have a Wall of Honor which is located in the Cafeteria near the Security Office. Please add a name of a family member that has been or is currently in the armed services.
