Morrison High School will host a Veterans Day Recognition Assembly, on Thursday, November 10, 2022, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., in the school’s auditorium. The event will provide an opportunity for students and staff to recognize those who have served in the Armed Forces.
In addition, Morrison High School’s FFA Chapter will serve a light lunch to participating veterans at 11:45 a.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 11:30, at either the “pool ramp” entrance in the rear parking lot, or at the front entrance at 643 Genesee Avenue. We will reserve parking spaces in the rear parking lot for all veterans who RSVP for the event.
MHS event organizer Brian Bartoz stated, “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. 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.”
Please contact Bartoz by e-mail at Brian.Bartoz@morrisonschools.org to RSVP for the event. Individuals can also RSVP by phone to Bartoz at 815-772-4071, extension 12106.
On Thursday evening, November 10, at 6:30, attend the Veterans Day concert by 5th grade Band students, in the High School auditorium. Instructor Samantha Scholl asked students to submit a photograph of a veteran in their family, and to add information about that person’s military service. The slideshow will take place prior to the performance.
