Looking forward to the R.C.Lipscomb Veterans Day Program! Ms. Driver and students always do a fabulous job! Thanks to ALL our Veterans and local schools honoring them!
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.
