Mission Valley 330

On Wednesday, November 11, Mission Valley Schools will celebrate Veterans Day with a
school assembly at 9:00 AM. The program will consist of individual recognition of the
veterans present, students singing patriotic songs, and more. If you have any family or
friends who are veterans, please invite them to our Veterans Day program. We would be
honored by their attendance and we would appreciate the opportunity to express our
gratitude for their service and/or continued service. A veteran is defined as anyone who
has completed Basic Training (Active, Reserves, or National Guard). We consider them a
veteran if they are still serving or have served.

Following the assembly, all veterans and a guest are invited to stay for a reception,
courtesy of our students and staff. To help us in planning this event, an RSVP for veterans
attending would be appreciated. Please return the slip below to your child’s teacher by
Wednesday, November 4th. You can also call the elementary office at 866.557.6686 or
email mveoffice@mv330.org to let us know. We hope to have a great turnout of veterans –
so we ask that you please pass the message along.
