Today, Parker Junior High staff and students came together to honor our local heroes with a heartfelt Veteran's Day assembly! We were joined by local veterans and members of the Flossmoor Memorial Veterans' Committee for a morning of powerful tributes. Our students shared their projects, delivered musical performances, and read essays honoring family members who have served. A special moment came when 7th grader Naya Kittling shared memories of her family's service, with her parents, grandma, and brother proudly watching.
