Arcola Schools will present our annual Veterans Day assembly on Wednesday, November 11, from 1-2pm in the high school gym.
This year's program's theme is "Bridging Generations: Service Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow". The program will feature a performance of "We Honor You" by the choir, a poem by the 4th grade, a message from new superintendent Tara Chandler, and our veterans' favorite - the AHS Drumline.
A crowd favorite, of course, is the reading of names of our veterans and active military, where we can recognize and honor each one for their service.
The luncheon for veterans will be held from 11:30am-12:30pm in the JH gym. (RSVP to swisehart@arcolaschools.com or by calling 217-268-4962.) The luncheon will be catered by the AHS Family and Consumer Sciences classes and FCCLA.
The elementary art classes will be displaying artwork created especially for Veterans Day, and class projects and books selected specifically for the day will be on display in the library.
Community parking will be available in the student parking lot on the south side of the school (the main Jr/Sr high school entrance, enter from Rte. 133). Valet parking will also be available.
