If you have any photos (that are school appropriate) of them in their military uniforms or unique photos of them in action (with a plane or on a ship), please scan and e-mail them to me as a JPEG. If you are not able to e-mail them to me, you can bring in the photos and I can scan them here. If you do e-mail or send in a photo, please include the following information for me:

  1. Veterans Name
  2. What Branch they served in, and if they are retired or still active
  3. Relationship to your child

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via e-mail at , or call the school at (281) 357-3060 EXT 4675.
