Special Veterans Day visitor in Mrs. Nixon's class! Col. Chaplain Terry Williams (Nora Calvert's grandfather) served 27 years in the Air Force, including Iraq & Diego Garcia. His message: serving others is what he loves most. Thank you for your service and for visiting us!
This morning, Discovery Intermediate's Pride Pack, along with sponsors Mrs. Sweetwood and Ms. Carrillo, had the incredible honor of hosting a Heroes Breakfast for our military members (past and present) and first responders!
Our heroes were greeted by a beautiful Hero's Wall created by Mrs. Nixon, surrounded by heartfelt poems written in library class and stunning poppies crafted by Mrs. Heim's social studies students. The Aux gym was transformed into a special space dedicated entirely to honoring their service and sacrifice.
A delicious breakfast, prepared by Susan Perkins, owner of A Heart of Country Catering and GHS Assistant Principal, was served with pride by our Pride Pack students. Our guests enjoyed wonderful fellowship and received tokens of our appreciation.
Thank you to all of our heroes for your dedication, sacrifice, and service to our community and country.
We are forever grateful! ❤️🤍💙
