Honoring Our Veterans at Kurtz Elementary!
The Kurtz community takes great pride in honoring and celebrating our veterans! As we prepare for Veterans Day, we have several special ways for our students and families to help recognize the brave men and women who have served our country.
Veterans Day Hallway Tribute
We invite families to share a photo of a veteran in their family to be proudly displayed on our Veterans Day Hallway Tribute Board.
Photo Guidelines:
Please submit only one photo per veteran.
Photos should be 5x7 or smaller.
Please include the following information with each photo:
Veteran's name
Branch of military service
Student's name
Student's teacher's name
Photo Deadline: Friday, November 6
Please submit photos by the deadline so they can be included in our display in time for our Veterans Day Celebration on November 11.
We know these photos are treasured keepsakes, and all photos will be returned to families before our December break.
Hats for Heroes – Supporting the Michigan War Dog Memorial
As another way to honor those who have served, Kurtz will be collecting donations to support the Michigan War Dog Memorial, which honors the service and sacrifice of military working dogs.
Students are invited to wear a hat to school on the following Mondays by making a donation of any amount. A new donation is requested each Monday that a student chooses to participate.
Hat Days:
Monday, October 26
Monday, November 2
Monday, November 9
All donations collected will benefit the Michigan War Dog Memorial.
Veterans Day Celebration – November 11
We look forward to honoring our veterans with a special Veterans Day Celebration at Kurtz Elementary on Wednesday, November 11!
More information about our Veterans Day Celebration will be shared with families soon.
Thank you for helping our Kurtz students recognize the importance of service, sacrifice, and gratitude. We look forward to celebrating and honoring our veterans together!
