Morrison High School teacher Brian Bartoz submitted this press release.
Morrison High School will host a Veterans Day Recognition Assembly, on Friday, November 10, 2023, from 11:45 a.m. to 12:25. Held in the school’s auditorium, the assembly will provide an opportunity for students and staff to recognize those who have served in the Armed Forces.
In addition, Morrison High School’s National Honor Society chapter will serve a light lunch to participating veterans at 12:30 p.m. This is a gesture of our collective appreciation for their service.
All Morrison-area veterans are cordially invited to this recognition event. At 11:15 a.m. veterans may begin checking in, at either the “pool ramp” entrance (in the rear parking lot) or the front entrance at 643 Genesee Avenue. We will reserve parking spaces in the rear parking lot for all veterans who RSVP for this event.
Morrison veterans, if you are able to attend this year’s luncheon and assembly, please contact Brian Bartoz, Social Studies and Driver Education Teacher, to confirm your interest in participating in the November 10 event. See contact information below.
Also indicate whether you would be interested in sharing the story of your service in the Armed Forces. These conversations with smaller groups of students will take place as 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. Kindly return all completed sheets to the Office; these sheets will be displayed near the Office from late October through late November.
Veterans are welcome to contact Bartoz by e-mail at Brian.Bartoz@morrisonschools.org to RSVP for the event. RSVP by phone to Bartoz at 815-772-4071, extension 12106.
