We had a fantastic Veterans Day parade this morning. I know that I, for one, was welling up a bit with emotion watching all of our proud veterans walk through our halls this morning.
Please continue to bring in donations for the food drive! We are collecting for families in our community that are not as fortunate as we are. Thank you to all of the families that have already donated.
