Principally Speaking...
Dear Vinland Families,
It is our privilege to say “thank you” to all of America’s veterans, to let them know that we appreciate them for their service and honor them for their sacrifices. We invite you to share in honoring our veterans during our school assembly, this Friday, November 8th at 10am. We are proud to be welcoming the Navy Band NW's Rock Band, "Passage" during our assembly for a brief performance. Additionally, we will be sharing writing pieces from our students answering the question, "What are some character traits that you believe an armed service member has?"
To assist us in recognizing our veterans on our "Wall of Honor" (as shown in our 2018 photo above) we are asking families to please complete a "Wall of Honor" service page and/or a veteran star. We ask that your submissions be returned by Wednesday, Nov. 6th.
For those that wish to join us during our assembly, please remember to bring your photo identification so that we can quickly process you through our secure school system, Raptor. We look forward to welcoming you!
Warmly,
Bridgit Reichel, Principal
