The SLS Student Council will be hosting our annual Veteran's Day celebration this year on November 11. We are hoping to have many of our family members join us on this special day as we honor those who serve and have served. Invitations will be going out soon and we need the addresses of these special men & women who have served to protect our loved country. Please send the mailing address of whom we should send an invitation to fdunmyer@stlouismemphis.org. The keynote speaker will be SLS alumnus, current SLS father, 10-year Army veteran/Apache pilot, and Folds of Honor board member Andrew Arbogast.
