Wounded Warrior Project

Parents:

For the last month, we have been collecting money for the Wounded Warrior Project. It is a fundraiser for soldiers that have been wounded in battle. So far students have been donating at a very promising rate!

We are going to end this on Veterans Day, which is next Tuesday, November 11th. If you would like to donate you can send it with the student to school. I think it is a great way to give to a great cause!

-Mr. Cooley

Today's Activity

Today students are working on a big Veterans Day project that the social studies department is working on. Students are honoring the fallen victims in Iraq and Afghanistan by hanging a ribbon in their honor. The ribbon will include the picture of the soldier, name, age, and where they are from.

Next Tuesday on Veterans Day, all social studies classes will hang these ribbons on the wall near the cafeteria. It is a great way to honor the fallen.
