Veterans are invited to the Cambridge Primary Schools 2^nd Annual “Silent Dismissal” honoring veterans on the Friday before Memorial Day.

Invitation:

It is nearly time for our second annual Silent Dismissal, and we hope that you can attend this year! Our students at Cambridge Primary School learn that Memorial Day is to honor the fallen, and we also created this opportunity for our students to show their gratitude and respect to living members of our Armed Services. The Silent Dismissal event is simple: as kids depart from school that day, they walk by veterans and active duty members and pay tribute. We had a great experience last year, and look forward to seeing you. 

Your job is simply to be present and enjoy being honored.

For the event, if you could wear something that identifies you as a member of the military, that would be wonderful. Other than that, there's no special prep for you. It is easy, and the kids make it worthwhile!

We want to assemble as many veterans and active duty members as possible, so it would be wonderful if you want to spread the word, invite others, or let us know who to reach out to.
