Grizzly Wall of Honor
Each year Mountain Gap School takes time to honor veterans with a school-wide program. Last year we started a new tradition by creating our very own Grizzly Wall of Honor where we put up pictures to honor those that have served our Armed Forces. This can be any family member; parents, grandparents, uncles, siblings, etc.
Click here to download the sheet to use for this purpose. Please print it, complete the information, and send it in with a picture of your relative. The
sheet is editable, so you can import pictures and type in the information directly on the sheet. Sheets will not be returned, but kept and posted from year to year. We are asking that these sheets are returned to your student's homeroom teacher no later than, Tuesday, October 31st.
We invite you to come to our PTA meeting and Veterans Day program on
Thursday, November 2 at 6:00.
This program is one of the highlights of our year, and our ever growing Grizzly Wall of Honor is a great addition to this tradition.
