Havana CUSD

🐉 Our 2nd graders wrapped up their Early Civilizations unit with a fun, creative project; making their very own Chinese dragons! 🎨 We love seeing our Ducks turn what they’ve learned in the classroom into something they can create and be proud of! 🦆❤️

Today, we had the privilege of serving lunch to our local veterans as a small way of saying thank you for the sacrifices they have made and the freedoms they have helped protect. To all of our veterans, thank you for your courage, commitment, and willingness to serve something bigger than yourselves. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for the opportunity to recognize and honor you. A special thank you to our National Honor Society members, Dual Credit students, Mr. Frashier and his crew, and Mr. Foster for helping make today’s luncheon possible. To all who have served, thank you. Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Our high school band was honored to perform The Star-Spangled Banner and the Armed Forces Medley during the American Legion Post 138 Veterans Day program. Reid Emme also performed Taps. Thank you to all who have served and sacrificed for our country! 🇺🇸

Mr. Lee's 7th grade Social Studies classes worked collaboratively to create a flag for the hallway at HJH in honor of Veterans Day while also learning about the historical events around Armistice Day.

Happy Veterans Day to our Havana #126 employees and to all of those who have served our country.
