As Veterans Day approaches, we would like to take the time to honor veterans from our community. We are excited to invite veterans and their families to join us for breakfast on Friday, November 6, at 8:45 AM. There will be a special program honoring all veterans in attendance at 9:30 AM. To help us prepare for this event, please RSVP by November 4. You can call the school office at 704-462-1344, or email Rebecca Wyant at [email protected] . Include the name of the veteran, the number of family members attending, and the Blackburn student(s) associated with the veteran.
We always include a slideshow of veterans in our program. All veterans who were included in last year's video will be honored again this year. If you have shared a photo and information previously, you do not need to do so again. If there is a veteran you would like to have included in the slideshow, email Rebecca Wyant by November 4. Provide a photo of the veteran, name, branch of military served, rank, and number of years served.
We look forward to hosting this special event in honor of veterans and their families. We appreciate their service, dedication, and sacrifice for our country.
