We would like to take some time to wish all of our active military and Veterans a Happy Veterans Day.  We are grateful for your courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedom.  Thank you for your service!

Each year, we look forward to our Veterans Day Concert.  Due to our unique circumstances, Mrs. Conrad, our music teacher, has worked with students to create a video for our Veterans to enjoy.  Please feel free to share the video with Veterans in your family.
