Good evening High Desert Hawks and Families,

Some updates for this week and upcoming events to mark down in your calendar. 

As we reconnect on campus, we are working with students on socialization through respectful conversations and students keeping their hands and feet to themselves. Please support these efforts from home by encouraging effective means of communication and emphasizing the importance of all students keeping their hands and feet to themselves.

Home Connection: This week, we will be honoring the Veterans who serve our country. Veterans' Day, observed annually on November 11, is a tribute to military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans Day honors all military veterans, including those still with us. The U.S. Congress declared in 1926, "Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through goodwill and mutual understanding between nations." We encourage our students this week to promote peace around them and take time to thank those who serve our nation, both past and present, to ensure that we can live in this free country. This week, we focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
