Thank you for the Veteran's Day posters!
We certainly appreciate all those who sent in Veterans Posters that pay tribute to your Veteran. Together the posters made quite a display in the school and the students (and staff) enjoyed reading them. If you'd like your poster returned to you ... please contact Mr. Miller (
[email protected]
) and let him know. He'll then send the poster back to you via your student. (Please don't forget to tell Mr. Miller the homeroom teacher of your student.) If you wouldn't mind us keeping the poster, we'd love to add it to our growing collection and display it again in the years to come.
