Veterans this sounds like a great meal. Thanks to the Dundee Central School District for doing this for our Veterans!

We are excited to announce a shift in our traditional Veterans Day celebration. This year, we will transition from our Veterans Day Concert to a Veterans Day Spaghetti Dinner. Our goal is to honor as many veterans as possible while fostering deeper community engagement and connection.
