Ox Ridge will continue the tradition of our Veterans’ Day program this year on Tuesday, November 11th.
We look forward to paying tribute to all the veterans in our families and broader community – past, present, near, and far – with an in-person program. Our goal is to instill in students a deep appreciation for our country and the veterans who have sacrificed so much for our safety and freedoms.
How to participate:
We will continue our program tradition of inviting veterans to participate in a brief Q&A panel with our students. If any of the veterans in your life can join us in person that day, please contact us by Monday, October 20th, by emailing [email protected] with the Subject Line “Veterans Day 2025”.
Alternatively, if you have a veteran or active-duty service member in your family, or if you know a veteran whom you would like to honor by having their biography and picture displayed in school, please complete the digital form by October 20th. The photos and biographies will be posted in the pod area for each grade.
*Please note: If you have submitted your veteran’s biographical information before, it is not necessary to do so again*
If you can volunteer before, during, or after the celebration, or to prepare for the event, please email [email protected]. Look for volunteer sign-up opportunities in upcoming Hoot editions. Thank you for your support—we look forward to honoring our country’s heroes!
