Port Jefferson School District honors veterans on Dress Down Day
Students, faculty and staff members of the Port Jefferson School
District helped to honor veterans during their GI GO Fund Nationwide
Dress Down Day on Nov. 8.
Coordinated by the middle school’s student council, the entire school
community was encouraged to remember those who have served our country
by wearing jeans and donating $5 to GI GO Fund’s Jeans for Troops
program. The program provides assistance to military veterans by helping
them find employment and training, access housing, and secure their
educational and health benefits.
Students were also asked to donate $1 to their homeroom teachers at the middle school, with funds designated for the GI GO Fund.
