Photos needed for our upcoming Veterans Day Assembly on November 7th!
This year, we would like to include all our veterans in our community (either in town or even out-of-town ones!). We are making a video to honor our veterans. In order for us to make this video in time for our Veteran's Day assembly, if you have a veteran family member you would like to honor, we invite you to submit a family photo of your veteran and submit it to this form by October 31st.
Thank you in advance for your assistance on this. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Musically yours,
