The spirited students of Mrs. Lori Ellis’ Advanced Placement English class at Calais High School are gearing up for an event that not only celebrates the heroism of our veterans, but also serves as a profound learning experience for the young minds behind it.  The annual Veterans Day Assembly, scheduled for Thursday, November 9, promises to be a heartfelt tribute to those who have served their country.
