Next week, we will be taking up a Candy Collection for the troops that is being organized by the Vetiquette program. Any candy sent in from the students can be placed in the bins located in the lobby. The Marine Corps League of Rockland has graciously offered to ship all candy collected to our active troops in Afghanistan.  We would like to accompany the candy with cards from the children.   To honor the memory of a service member who grew up in Blauvelt, the Vetiquette program is hosting the Lt. Col. Michael Murphy Card Campaign & Contest. We hope to make this an annual event each Veteran's Day so the children can learn to show their gratitude for our service members and their families.
