THROWBACK THURSDAY
With Veterans’ Day approaching, today’s Throwback Thursday photo is from 1946 of a military parade of Grant County veterans. The parade route traveled through downtown along Center Street during the dedication of the court square war memorial.

On Tuesday, Nov. 11, the Sheridan School District will host Veterans’ Day parades in both Sheridan and East End. Thank you to all who have served our nation.

Check out the designs for the proposed new East End Elementary School and the multi-purpose covered practice pavilion in Sheridan! (Since these are preliminary architect renderings, minor details could change as plans are finalized.)

These enhancements are part of the upcoming nine-year millage extension on the ballot November 18. The district’s millage rate will remain at 36 mills whether the plan passes or not, but without approval, funding won’t be available to complete these projects. If the extension passes, these plans will become a reality for our students and community.
