Daniel J Flood Honors Veterans Day by Participating in GI Go Fund’s “Jeans For Troops”

The staff took part in the 2017 Jeans for Troops fundraising drive benefiting GI Go Fund, a nonprofit organization that helps veterans returning home find employment, access their health care and financial benefits, and link to housing.  During the drive, which has schools, companies, and organizations from across the country participating in, Dan Flood gave their staff the opportunity to wear jeans to work in exchange for a $5 donation to GI Go Fund.  
 
GI Go Fund is an organization that has been supporting military families for more than a decade, providing veterans with innovative ways of finding employment, securing their educational and health benefits, as well as providing aid and assistance to low income and homeless veterans. Since their founding, the organization has helped tens of thousands of veterans improve their lives and give them the capacity to provide and care for their loved ones.  The faculty was able to raise $200!

Several classrooms also honored veterans by writing letters to hundreds of thousands of service members who can’t make it home this holiday season.  We have SO much thanks for our military members!
