Today we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

This Memorial Day, Oneida City School District joins our community and nation in reflection and gratitude. We recognize that freedom is not free, and we are forever grateful to those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may live, learn, and grow in peace.

As we gather with family and friends this weekend, may we take time to remember the courage, dedication, and selflessness of our fallen heroes. Their legacy lives on in our classrooms, our communities, and the values we strive to uphold each day.

From all of us at OCSD, we extend our deepest gratitude to our fallen service members and their families. We remember you. We honor you. We thank you.
