Week of November 1, 2021
As mentioned in Thorson's Thursday Folder, all 3 elementary schools will be celebrating veterans as they drive past in a procession on Thursday, November 11. They're due to drive past Thorson at 9:30 and we'll be outside wearing red, white & blue, cheering, maybe singing, waving flags or signs to show our appreciation for their service. If you have a veteran you would like to participate in the processional, they are welcome.
