Due to the extreme weather expected tomorrow, we are having to cancel our Veterans Day parade. We will do a program for Pearl Harbor Day. This has been scheduled for December 5th at 8 am.
Tomorrow we will share our appreciation for our Veterans through social media. Students may wear red, white, and blue OR camo. 🇺🇸
