General Announcements

This week, we are recognizing Veterans of the United States Armed Forces. During World War 2, nearly 3 million teenage boys and girls went to work for the 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 week. Please stop by the Military Wall of Honor and add the names of your friends or family members who have served or are serving in the armed forces on the Military Heritage Board designed by the Art department. This Friday, we will have veteran speakers in the Forum all day speaking about their experiences. You are welcome to come to the forum during any of your unscheduled hours on Friday.
