Carroll Middle School will have its annual Veterans Day Assembly on Monday, Nov.11.
Students will honor veterans with songs, musical selections, poems and essays.
If you are a veteran and would enjoy speaking to our student body on that day, please contact Mrs. Rowlands at 817-949-5409 or by email at janice.rowlands@southlakecarroll.edu to discuss the opportunity.
One would only need to speak for about 10-13 minutes. We always love to hear from hometown folks! Let us know of your interest.
As part of our Veterans Day Celebration, CMS would like to pay tribute to all men and women
related to a Carroll Middle School student who are serving or have served in any of our military
forces with a "Wall of Honor."
All Veterans are invited to attend the ceremony on Monday, Nov. 11 at 10:15 a.m. Come early to be seated and stay after for a reception.
Attached is a copy of the form for you to complete and
include a picture if you have one. Please complete the form and include the corresponding picture
(marked with the veterans and students name on the back) and return the completed form to the front office by
Wednesday, Nov. 6. Thank you!
