Celebrate your Veteran or Active Military Family Member or Friend

Students have been encouraged to create a poster to honor their Veteran or Active Military family and friends, that will be hung on the wall of the main hallway during the celebration. Students can pick up a sheet of construction paper- red, white, or blue, outside of the art room. They are encouraged to include a picture, name, branch of service, and any other information they would like to include about their person.
