We are honoring our Jefferson Veterans with a slideshow!
Building a slide together is a wonderful opportunity for your Jefferson student to learn more about their veteran and celebrate their service.
Send your photo and details (or a completed slide!) to Mrs. King at kinge@pryorschools.org by October 31st.
Please include:
Veteran's Name & Military Branch
Jefferson Student's Name
Optional details: Rank, honors, or years served
(Note: If you submitted last year, send a quick confirmation email so Mrs. King knows to include your veteran again!)
To all who have served and those currently serving, we extend our deepest gratitude for your dedication, courage, and sacrifice.
