E. Wilson Morrison Early Act Club Spearheads Pre-Memorial Day Remembrance

Published

on

On Thursday, May 16, the Early Act students at E. Wilson Morrison Elementary School (EWM) held their third annual pre-Memorial Day ceremony, paying tribute to those from Warren County and their country who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

The school choir, “The Bobcat Chorus,” led by EWM Choir Director Thomas Hassett, sang the National Anthem. The Early Act students and guests planted American Flags along the school’s sidewalk to remind their classmates and visitors to the school as Memorial Day approaches May 27th of the deep respect the EWM family possesses for those who have given their all and their family members.

Royal Examiner thanks Early Act sponsor Michael Williams for alerting us to this event and for his photo assistance, which was credited.
