No school today in observance of Veterans Day 🇺🇸 Thorp School District would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all of the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country! On Thursday we held an all school assembly. We would like to send a special thank you to Mr. Andrew Perkins, Mr. Joe Tirey, and Mr. Chris Heroine for guest speaking to our students, families, and community. We also would like to share our veteran dedication: "We have a very special guest with us today, please help me in welcoming and honoring Barbara Arrowsmith Schober. Thank you, Barbara, for your service and dedication to our country and for breaking barriers for women in the military. Barbara is 100 years young! Your bravery and perseverance have paved the way for future generations of servicewomen. Barbara marched in the Nimitz Day Parade on October 9, 1945 in New York City. She also worked at Arlington Cemetery and was an Administrative Assistant to the Adjutant General. Semper Fi!" We hope you spend time today honoring and thanking those who have made, and continue to make, sacrifices for our country ❤️🤍💙 One way you can support our veterans is giving back! Ms. Willette's 4th grade class started a fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project. They have a goal to raise $500! Please visit their fundraising page and donate if you can! https://honortheircourage.woundedwarriorproject.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.participant&participantID=20343&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0BMQABHeBAZs3ceZ1LebEc3_dCI9cjB2ooVKiV1CkflEhfHj4YkPqVdgTdTD1BKg_aem_JURCnuq0pXaONLcENIQMvA
