General Announcements
Today is Veterans Day and we are honored to have guest speakers in the Forum every hour who will share their stories of serving our country in the Armed Forces. Their experiences vary, but they share a common thread of bravery and commitment to freedom and the people of the United States. On this day of remembrance, we would also like to honor the nurses, doctors and medics who devoted themselves to saving the lives of wounded soldiers, and making the deaths of others less painful. You are welcome to come to the Forum during any of your unscheduled hours today.
Hey Warriors: Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, but not everyone can be home for the holidays. We still have many of our troops fighting for our freedom overseas. Please help our troops during Veteran’s Week by donating either supplies, in the boxes located throughout the school, or money in the jars located in the DECA store, main office, and library. Some supplies that are needed include: energy bars, beef jerky, travel-sized games or cards, single servings of trail mix, candy, cookies, cereal, powdered beverages, etc.
There will also be a card for everyone to sign to send to the troops during both lunches on Friday, November 12th. Thanks for your support, Warriors!
