Social Media This Month: Veterans and Gratitude
November brings two very important holidays: Veterans Day and Thanksgiving. This year, you have the opportunity to participate in our virtual celebrations on social media. Below, read how you can be a part of some very special moments.
EPIC Celebrates Veterans Day

EPIC students are invited to write a letter to their favorite veteran (or to veterans in general) thanking them for their service. You can submit either a photo of the written letter or a word document.

You can also submit a photo of your veteran along with the letter, but it is not required.

Submission deadline is November 9th.
EPIC Celebrates Thanksgiving

This is an opportunity for students to share who or what they are thankful for this Thanksgiving in their own voice. It's really simple and we hope to hear from many students.

Click on the button below and you will find all the instructions for your student to easily record a short video that will be featured on our EPIC social media pages!

Submission deadline is November 23rd!
