Parents, Families and Important People,
Prestwick STEM Academy will be honoring Veteran’s Day on Monday, November 11, 2019. We would like to invite our community Veterans to our campus, to be recognized for the exceptionally meritorious service, commitment and loyalty to the United States of America. We will serve a light appreciation breakfast from 7:50am - 8:05am in our café. Afterwards, Veterans are invited to our K-5 classrooms from 8:30am - 9:00am to visit and share a few words about their military service.
For our middle school students (6th-8th), we are currently working to provide a unique experience. Middle school students will be provided the opportunity to sign-up to hear from guest speakers from various military branches during their respected lunch times. Middle school lunches are from 12:05pm - 12:35pm and 12:40pm - 1:10pm.
Please mark the RSVP options below and return to your child’s teacher or front office by Nov. 5th if you are a veteran and are interested in joining us please click on the button below, fill out the form, and return it to school with your child.
