Thank you Mrs. Heras and the Treblemakers honor choir for performing. Thank you for preparing the extra special breakfast for our Veterans and their students. Thank you Jed Heras for your trumpet solo playing taps. One last special thank you to our SRO Julie Conner for giving a speech during the assembly discussing the history of the day and what it means to be a Veteran.
The boil order continues for Friday, November 10. Please make sure you send a water bottle, or two, with your child. Please note, there will also not be water available in the cafeteria like the students are accustomed to during lunch.
We would like to honor our own Veteran that serves the ESD daily. We are honored to have Veteran and SRO Julie Conner in the building. If you see SRO Conner make sure you tell her thank you her service in the United States Army 31B Military Police from Jan. 2007- July 2017.
