    R.C. Lipscomb Elementary will be holding our annual Veterans Day Program on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Veterans should gather by the flagpole at the school entrance at 8:30 a.m. Program will include a “Veteran Parade” through the main hallway, performances by the Lipscomb Chorus, and a tribute to the Veterans followed by a reception . Much love and care has been put into the planning and preparation of the program by faculty, staff, and students alike. Keep a Kleenex handy.

    It’s really sad that in a military community/area that every school doesn’t do a Veterans program. School staff and students get the day off and it would be nice if the children understood why and what the day really means.
