Veterans Day
Veterans Day
In order to honor our veterans this year we plan to make a slideshow on the Vanderhoof website for Veterans Day, November 11th. If you already have your veteran represented in the slide show from last year and do not need to make any corrections, I DO NOT need a form from you. Last year's annual veteran's day presentation is shared below:
If you would like to have your veteran honored in our slide show please complete the following steps:
You can help your child to fill out the veteran information sheet digitally here: Veterans Day Form (Please don't worry about formatting! I can fix anything you type. The picture, if possible, and information written are most important!)
You may send them electronically to Mrs. Henrichsen at cblais@jeffcoschools.us DIRECTIONS HERE
If you need to print the form and send it in, that’s okay, too!
Veterans Day is November 11th, so please try and turn these into Mrs. Henrichsen by Wednesday, November 8th.
Thanks for sharing and honoring your veterans!
