As you know winter weather is upon us. Please remember to take a few extra minutes while traveling. Many of our students are first time drivers. Be cautious when following a slow driver as it may very well be a student who is experiencing slippery road conditions for the first time. Thank you for helping keep our students safe this winter!
On another note, I would like to share with you a few highlights from the Hornet Hive.
November 11th, our students honored veterans in a special manner. Don Gill Elementary students hosted an event that is truly spectacular! Each year they invite area veterans to come sit on the stage and be honored. This year was no exception. Many area veterans from WWII to present were treated to a warm welcome filled with student created displays and patriotic songs. It was heartfelt as each veteran took the stage to tell us where he/she served and what Veterans' Day means personally for them. The cafeteria was filled and over flowing. What a special community event. If you missed it this year, be sure to mark your calendar for next year as it is open to the public!
