Veterans Day Virtual Assembly

We are preparing for our Veterans Day program this year.  In order to be accessible to everyone in the Sunrise Valley community, we will be producing a Virtual Veterans Day Assembly and we want you to be a part of it. We are asking that family members who are veterans, record a quick response to the prompt: “what being a veteran means to me.”  This can be a short response recorded on a smartphone, no longer than 30 seconds.  The videos will be edited together in a nice package that highlights the veterans of the Sunrise Valley community.  Reach out to family members, neighbors, colleagues, who may be interested in sharing their veteran story.  Please send video files directly to mdstewart@fcpsschools.net.

Date of last submission: 11/1/21

All students will participate  in the assembly through  performances recorded  during specials classes on Tuesday, October 26.  Please have your child wear red, white and blue  on this day.
