Join us tomorrow, November 11, at 8:30 AM for Central Elementary’s Veterans Day Celebration! All guests must bring a picture ID. Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and/or blue as we honor our veterans!
🦅Honoring Our Heroes: Veterans Day Across Our District
🌟Veterans Day is more than just a date on the calendar; it is a vital opportunity to teach our youth about courage, selflessness, and citizenship.
Across our district, our teachers and staff are dedicated to ensuring students understand the true meaning of Veterans Day: honoring the brave men and women who answered the call to serve and protect our freedoms.
By hearing stories, honoring local service members, and learning about the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces, our students learn the value of duty and gratitude firsthand.
Help Us Honor Our Veterans!
Central Elementary will celebrate Veterans Day on Wednesday, November 11, at 8:30 a.m.
We invite families to email photos of family members and friends who have served in the military. Please include each service member’s:
⭐ Name
⭐ Military branch
⭐ Rank (such as Private, Sergeant, or Lieutenant)
📧 Send photos to Mrs. G at julianne.gagliardo@okeeschools.org by Monday, November 9.
We hope to create a special Veterans Wall of Fame for our families and guests to enjoy. Thank you for helping us recognize and celebrate those who have served our country! ❤️🤍💙

What a special day at Central Elementary!
Today, our campus was filled with smiles, hugs, laughter, and so much love as we welcomed grandparents and special family members to celebrate with our Panthers. There is something truly wonderful about seeing our students light up when someone they love walks through the doors of their school.
Days like today are a beautiful reminder that Central is more than a school—we are a community, and our families are such an important part of what makes our school so special.
A very special thank you to Cecilia Laws, Amber Denton, Mercedes Widdifield, Nancy Boyer, and Martha Cruz for the time, care, and effort they put into making today so wonderful for our families. We are also incredibly grateful to the many people who donated treats and helped make our guests feel so welcome and appreciated.
Thank you to every grandparent and special family member who spent part of their day with us. We loved having you at Central and hope you left knowing just how much you mean to your Panther—and to all of us.
These are the moments our children will remember—the hugs, the smiles, the time spent together, and the feeling of being surrounded by people who love them. Thank you for showing up, making memories, and helping us make Central such a special place to grow and learn.
We are so grateful for our Central families, and our hearts are especially full tonight. 🐾 Happy Grandparents Day from our Panther family to yours!
