Dear Gator Families,
At Savannah Elementary, we believe in being the heart of our community and at the heart of our community are the brave men and women who have served our country. This Veterans Day, we are honored to recognize and celebrate the heroes among our Gator families.
Our Teach Denton Program is proudly coordinating this year’s Veterans Day celebration, with the goal of honoring the veterans who have made a lasting impact on our students, families, and community.
If your student has a veteran in their family, we invite you to complete our Veterans Day Form linked below. The form allows families to share the veteran’s name, branch of service, military photo, and connection to your student to be displayed on the Honor Wall. Veterans are also welcome to opt in to participate in our Veterans Day Parade at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 11th, followed by a light brunch with their student. The form will close Friday, October 31st at 3:00pm.
This special event is our way of saying thank you for the courage, sacrifice, and service that protect the freedoms we hold dear. We hope you’ll help us make this a memorable celebration that reflects the pride and gratitude of our entire Gator community.
