Morrison High School will host a Veterans Day Recognition Assembly on Thursday, November 7, 2024, from 11:40 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. The assembly 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.
Morrison-area veterans are cordially invited to this recognition event. They may begin checking in at 11:15 a.m., at either the “pool ramp” entrance in the rear parking lot, or the front entrance at 643 Genesee Avenue, Morrison, IL. We will reserve parking spaces in the rear parking lot, for all veterans who RSVP for this event.
Veterans, if you are able to attend this year’s luncheon and assembly, please contact Brian Bartoz, Social Studies & Driver Education Teacher, to confirm your intent to participate.
Also indicate whether you would share the story of your service in the Armed Forces, with small groups of students in classroom visits, following the main assembly.
Morrison High School invites students to pay tribute to family members, relatives, and neighbors who have served in the military, through the “My American Hero” project. Students 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. Tribute sheets will be posted near the trophy case from late October through late November.
Veterans should contact Bartoz by e-mail at Brian.Bartoz@morrisonschools.org to RSVP for the event. Individuals can also RSVP by phone to 815-772-4071, extension 12106.
