Veterans Day is a time to express our deepest gratitude to all the brave men and women who have selflessly served in the various branches of the armed forces. Their dedication and sacrifices have been instrumental in safeguarding the freedoms and values that we hold dear. Whether they served on land, at sea, or in the air, each veteran has played a crucial role in shaping our nation's history and ensuring its security. As we honor their service, let us also remember the families who have supported them, often making significant sacrifices of their own.

To all veterans, thank you for your courage, commitment, and unwavering service to our country.

Reminder- No School tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11th, in observance of Veterans Day.

💙Rebel Day of Caring 💙 Last week, high school seniors brought big hearts and helping hands to Harrisville Elementary for Rebel Day of Caring! From reading with students to lending a hand in classrooms and spreading kindness across the school, these seniors showed what it truly means to be a Rebel — leading with compassion, connection, and community spirit. ✨ We’re so proud of the example they set for our future Rebels, and grateful for the bonds being built between schools. Days like this remind us that kindness is powerful — and contagious! 💫
