Support for Military Families

Conger Elementary School is proud to support military families that live in our community. We value the sacrifice and dedication our military students and their families demonstrate each day. We wish to encourage and support our military families through a variety of resources available at Conger Elementary. Our School Guidance Counselor, Social Skills Specialist and Administrators are here to support you with any concerns, questions or assistance. At Conger Elementary, we recognize and support our military in the following ways:

-Veterans Day classroom lessons.

-Veterans Day grade level collaboration to celebrate Veterans creates a school bulletin board.

-Veterans Day staff appreciation for those who have served our country.

-Support military families before, during and after deployment.

-Our school website with a link for military families and students to provide resources and agencies for support.

Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can support your military family in any way.

Veterans Day Observances

Our Conger students participated in a variety of activities in honor of Veterans Day.

The students made cards to be sent to local Vets, thanking them for their service. We made nearly 500 cards and letters, which will brighten the days of many current and prior service members.

The class that made the MOST cards got to choose what color Mr. Eddy would die his hair. And the winning colors were pink, red, AND purple!

Mr. Eddy also compiled a display, honoring military members among our community and Conger families.

We are grateful for the service and sacrifice of our US Military veterans.

Conger Military Family SURVEY



We are looking to gather information about our Military Families to be able to continue to support our students at Conger. Please take a moment to complete this short MILITARY FAMILY SURVEY, if your family includes an active military member, thank you.
