As Veterans Day approaches, our center is preparing to honor the brave men and women who have served our country with dedication and courage. This annual celebration is a meaningful time to reflect on the sacrifices made by our veterans and to express our gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy because of their service.

At the heart of our celebrations is Veterans Security Operations (VSO). VSO is a dedicated group of veterans who serve within our schools to help maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all students and staff. Our VSO Officer Joshua Winters’ presence on campus goes far beyond security; he serves as a role model and living example of integrity, teamwork, and service to others for our little learners. Through his daily work and continued commitment, Officer Josh reminds us of the values that make our nation strong. He helps ensure that our campus remains not only secure but also connected and a place where respect and community thrive.

In recognition of Veterans Day, we love to honor those who are currently serving in the military or have served in the past by putting together a slideshow of photos to display in our lobby throughout Veterans Day week. Make sure that you take a look or ask how you can add your veteran to the slideshow.

We invite all families to join us as we celebrate and honor our veterans. Their courage, discipline, and ongoing service inspire us every day, and on Veterans Day we are proud to stand together in gratitude.
