Veterans Day

As we arrive to the holiday designated as Veteran's Day, I hope we go beyond just "vacationing" and taking "holiday" time -- to reflecting on the reason for the day and the recognition of our veterans and those that serve admirably in the armed service of our nation.

At the same time, we have JROTC groups at 4 of our high schools. These groups are comprised of typically 100 or more of our students that are engaged in a wide variety of learning activities including investigating a career in the military. We are proud of the work that they do and the service that they are pursuing. We were honored in our November 2nd Board meeting when they presented the colors and led us in the salute to the flag.

Please take time to reflect on the contribution of veterans and current military personnel as you go through your day.
