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, members of National Honor Society and Key Club will serve a light lunch to participating veterans around 12:45 p.m. as a gesture of collective appreciation for their service.
Brigadier General Steven B. Rice, Assistant Adjutant General – Air for the Illinois Air National Guard, will serve as the event’s keynote speaker.
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. The school 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 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.
