A copy is on display in the library for anyone who would like to look at it. Congratulations to all the students whose artwork was featured.

Joppa-Maple Grove is proud to support our Veterans through an upcoming Honor Flight, and we need your help!

We are asking students and families to create thank-you cards and letters to be given to Veterans during their trip. These messages are incredibly meaningful and often become a highlight of their experience.

Students may create:
✉️ Thank you for your service letters
🇺🇸 What a Veteran means to you
❤️ Patriotic messages of appreciation

Cards can be handmade, typed, or written—anything patriotic and heartfelt is welcome!

📅 Please send all cards to school by May 5th

Let’s come together to show our veterans how much they are appreciated for their service and sacrifice ❤️🤍💙
