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.
Do you know a Veteran who would be interested in being honored for their past or current service to our country? Fill out this google form so we can make them part of the presentation on Monday. The Veteran's Day Assembly on Monday, November 11 is open to all PJH families with three time slots available to be part of the experience.
