Vets Breakfast and Program
During the program the following will take place: Frontier Girls singing a song, whole school singing "God Bless America", a 6th grader reading a poem (which I will give to them next week), whole school singing "This Land is Your Land", and another 6th grader will read another poem.
The Veterans will also be conducting a special ceremony entitled "The Missing Man Table". One part of this ceremony asks us all to make a toast (with water) to veterans, so can you please convey to your students to bring their water bottles with them. All staff bring some water also to participate in this moving ceremony.
