Monroe High School Students Veteran's Day Project

For Veteran's Day, students in the Monroe High School Advanced Internet class are developing a website to recognize current and former members of our military. The website will feature photos and basic information of each person's military service. The class is looking for:

• Current Monroe residents and their family members who are serving or have previously served in the military
• Monroe High School alumni who are serving or have previously served in the military
• Monroe Local Schools staff members and their family members who are serving or have previously served in the military

If you or a family member is interested in participating, please email tburklow@monroelocalschools.com with the words "Veteran's Day Project" in the subject line. The email should have a digital photo of the military member in their uniform or in a military setting attached and include the following information:

• The person's full name (as you'd like it listed)
• The person's rank, military branch and unit information
• General location describing the image
• War or operation the person served in or is currently serving in

Scholastic will match the funds raised with a donation of us to a million books to three non-profit organizations: Kids in Distressed Situations, Center for Family Literacy, and the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.

Scholastic book fairs give students and their families a great opportunity to purchase books and a variety of other education material at special discounted prices. There is no better time to encourage your child to read!
