Veterans Day: Honoring Our Heroes

On November 11th, we join as one community to honor the courageous men and women who have served and sacrificed for our nation. Their devotion to protecting our freedoms is an inspiration to us all. We are especially mindful of the close connection between our district and the 10th Mountain Division, whose soldiers embody sacrifice and resilience.

This Veterans Day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the veterans within our school community and beyond. We warmly invite veterans to share their stories and experiences with our students. Your voices are powerful teachers, helping the next generation understand not only the meaning of service, but also the importance of remembrance. 

A Message of Gratitude

We are deeply grateful for every member of the Lowville family whose enthusiasm and care make our school a place of growth and belonging. As we reflect on gratitude this season, we encourage everyone to take a moment to thank the veterans around us as well as our Board members, whose contributions strengthen the very foundation of our community.

Together, let’s continue to build on that spirit of service and support. Thank you for being an essential part of the Lowville Academy tradition. We look forward to honoring our heroes and leaders with you this November.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Dunckel

Superintendent of Schools
