Jerry Burnell Great Works School will honor veterans and their families at its annual Veterans Day assembly Monday, Nov. 9, from 9 to 10:10 a.m. in the school gymnasium.
The program will feature performances by the chorus and fifth-grade band, student essays thanking veterans and remarks from veterans. A breakfast reception for veterans and their families will follow in the cafeteria and conclude at 11 a.m.
Families with a relative or friend who has served in the Armed Forces are encouraged to invite them as a special guest. Please return guest information to your child’s teacher by Thursday, Nov. 5. Students and staff are encouraged to wear red, white and blue for the celebration.
Families can also help by donating items for the breakfast through the Veterans Day Breakfast Donation Sign-Up shared by the school. Nonperishable items may be dropped off Friday, Nov. 6, or the morning of Monday, Nov. 9. Perishable items should be delivered to the cafeteria between 7 and 8:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9.
Thank you for helping continue this Great Works tradition of honoring veterans and their families.
