Dear Veterans, Thank You

On this Veterans Day, Dallas Center-Grimes CSD is honored to celebrate the brave men and women who served our country. Veterans Day is an opportunity to recognize the courage, dedication, and sacrifices of those who have worn our nation’s uniform and to express our gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy because of their service. To all Veterans, including those who serve in our district, we are grateful for you. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued commitment to making a difference.

The Dear Veterans, Thank You video series is an annual tradition at Dallas Center-Grimes. We ask our students to write a letter to local Veterans, and we present them at Hy-Vee’s annual breakfast. Here’s our video this year.

We are also proud to honor the Veterans working at Dallas Center-Grimes CSD. From our classrooms to our offices and throughout our schools, these individuals continue to make a difference in the lives of our students and staff each day.
