The three Sisters public schools will honor local military veterans at each school in observance of Veterans Day, having the students assembled to say ‘Thank you for your service.”

Veterans Day is observed on November 11, marking the date of the armistice that ended World War I in Europe in 1918. However, this year, because it’s a Saturday, Sisters Middle School and Sisters High School are holding their veterans recognition events on Thursday, November 9. All veterans and their spouses are welcome to attend.

Sisters Middle School has scheduled their event on Thursday, November 9, with coffee and snacks for veterans at 2:15 p.m., and the assembly starts at 2:30 p.m.

Sisters High School’s Veterans Day observances begin at 9:20 a.m. Veterans and their spouses are welcome to have coffee and “something sweet” at 9 a.m., before the student assembly.

Sisters Elementary School will honor veterans on Friday, November 17 with a breakfast at 8 a.m., followed by an assembly.
