Command Sergeant Major Bryan Merk (Crescent Class of 1985) gave inspiring remarks about servitude. Thank you, CSM Merk, for sharing your experiences with us all, and THANK YOU for your service to our nation! ๐ช๐บ๐ธ
We again extend our most profound appreciation to those who have defended our freedom. Your commitment echoes in our hearts like a proud tiger's roar. Thank you for your service!๐๏ธ











This week, our hearts have swelled with pride watching our students embrace our veterans and express their gratitude for them. Our vets embody the spirit of courage and sacrifice, and we are grateful for the brave hearts that have served our country! โค๏ธ๐ค๐
Our first featured Veterans Day event was a heartwarming celebration at Iva Elementary School. Iva Elementary celebrated Veterans by holding a Patriotic Parade with a special tribute song by the IES Chorus. Visiting Veterans then visited individual classrooms, allowing the students to share their stories and ask tons of questions! Thank you to the veterans who took the time to visit with our students at Iva! ๐บ๐ธ๐ฅฐ
