Morrison High School will host a Veterans Day Recognition Assembly on Thursday, November 7 from 11:40 a.m. -12:20 p.m. The assembly, which will be held in the school’s auditorium, will provide an opportunity for students and staff to recognize those who have served in the armed forces. In addition, students in National Honor Society and Key Club will serve a light lunch to participating veterans at 12:30 p.m. as a gesture of our collective appreciation for their service.
All Morrison-area veterans are cordially invited to this recognition event. Veterans are welcome to begin checking in at either the “pool ramp” entrance in the rear parking lot or the front entrance at 643 Genesee Avenue at 11:15 a.m. We will reserve parking spaces in the rear parking lot for all veterans who RSVP for the event.
Morrison veterans, if you are able to attend this year’s luncheon and assembly, please contact Mr. Brian Bartoz, Social Studies & Driver Education Teacher, to confirm your interest in participating in the November 7 event. Please also indicate whether you would be interested in sharing the story of your service in the armed forces with smaller groups of students through classroom visits following the main assembly.
Morrison High School also invites all students to pay tribute to family members, relatives, and neighbors who have served in the military through the “My American Hero” project. Participants are encouraged to attach the service member’s photo (preferably a copy of a photo) to the “My American Hero” sheet that is available in the high school office. Please return all completed sheets to the high school office; the submitted sheets will be posted near the trophy case from late October through late November.
Veterans are welcome to contact Mr. Bartoz by e-mail at Brian.Bartoz@morrisonschools.org to RSVP for the event. Individuals can also RSVP by phone to Mr. Bartoz at (815) 772-4071, ext. 12106.
