Volunteers Needed for Veteran's Day Celebration image

Mrs. Baron will be hosting our Veterans Day celebration on November 10th. This is a very special day to honor our veterans.

The day includes a breakfast for our honorees, an assembly and a walk through our Hall of Remembrance. Mrs. Baron will be providing juice, bagels and cream cheese and looking for volunteers to provide a few more breakfast items, such as, fruit, muffins/danishes or some kind of egg dish.

She is also looking for help on Nov 1st to help hang the certificates, honoring your special veteran, on our bulletin boards. These certificates will be going home soon.

If you are available to help in either of these ways, please contact Amy Habboush at amy518@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance for your help.
