This year's Veterans Day program, "BECAUSE OF YOUR COURAGE: Remembering Our Heroes", is right around the corner! Mark your calendars now for this Monday, November 11th - Veterans Day 2013. Our school-wide program will begin at 8:30am in the Silverdale Baptist Church sanctuary and will be a beautiful time of honoring our veterans through student-led expressions of thanks. There will be patriotic music, art and drama, all performed and led by our creative and talented students. If you are a veteran or know of a veteran who would like to attend, please fill out a form on our website by CLICKING HERE. Our guests of honor this year are United States Army Specialist Andrew Smith and his wife Tori. Andrew and Tori have a powerful story to tell, as Andrew lost both legs to an improvised explosive device (IED) while deployed to Afghanistan just last March. You can read more on their journey on their website HERE. This video below shares the last 12 months of Andrew's recovery - we hope you'll watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znS7wcsZfqs
