Reminder: Honoring our Veterans

While Saint James School will not be in session on Veteran’s Day this year, it remains very important to us that we honor those who have served and continue to serve our country.   It is also important that our students understand and truly appreciate the sacrifices made by our military families.

To help accomplish this objective, our Veteran’s Day Committee will have small flags that students can purchase on Thursday, November 10th for a (minimum) $1.00 donation.  Money collected will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.  We ask that students place these flags in their front yard on Friday, November 11th in honor of our nation’s veterans.

Additionally, this week we would like for students that have (or had) a family member in the military to bring in a picture of that individual with information on the branch in which they served, the years of service, and any deployments they were part of (if applicable).  If you would prefer to email the picture and information, you can send that to Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net.  We will use these pictures to create a “Wall of Honor” in our breezeway that students can look at when passing through.

Thank you for your help with this important initiative for our school.
