HPU celebrated Veterans Day<\/u><\/a> to honor the heroes of our nation for their service. We honored 2,000 veterans with the help of 150 student, faculty and staff volunteers, and we celebrated our values as a God, family and country school.<\/p>\nI continue to be amazed with the thoughtful acts of generosity that our students display \u2013 how they live, how they serve and how they know that anything is possible.<\/p>\n
And, as the holidays continue approaching, you will see more stories about students donating Thanksgiving meals and Christmas gifts to local families in our community.<\/p>\n
In this season of gratitude, I am eternally grateful to be part of your student\u2019s journey. I am thankful for the eternal relationships that we have in the HPU family and community.<\/p>\n
May we all embrace the blessings of Thanksgiving, and most of all, may we continue to learn and grow together.<\/p>\n
