Valentine's For Veterans
Haleyville Middle School National Junior Honor Society is working with the Ladies Auxillary to provide a special Valentine's Day message to the 115th stationed overseas. Each day at break, students have an opportunity to fill out a post card thanking our troops for their service and wishing them well. Carly Banks, NJHS officer, believes this is something that will make a difference as these young men and women spend time away from home defending our country. "I'm just glad we are doing it because I know it will be something special. To receive a note of encouragement from someone you don't even know will make a difference," said Banks. Haleyville Middle School asks you to continue to pray for our troops and their families. We are proud to be Americans!
