Bend-La Pine Schools hold events honoring veterans
In honor of Veterans Day, all elementary schools within Bend-La Pine Schools will host an Honorary Veterans Lunch on Thursday. Family members of students or staff who are veterans or who are active members of the military will receive a lunch free of charge during this event.
