Good afternoon Gales Ferry/Juliet Long Families,
We continue our Veterans Day celebrations with an Assembly and Luncheon on Friday, November 7th!
On behalf of Gales Ferry and Juliet W. Long School, we would like to honor and show our appreciation to our veterans and active duty personnel by inviting you to an all-school assembly followed by a complimentary luncheon. Attached to this message is the permission slip to RSVP. Please send this to school with your student by October 24th.
This day, which is a highlight for so many in our community, only happens because of everyone’s commitment, contributions, and flexibility. There are many ways to contribute. You can donate items listed below, donate food to our Luncheon, or sign up to help out on November 7th.
