Veterans Day Celebration
Students going above and beyond!
Below is a letter I received from our State Senator Pamela Althoff congratulating two of our students for entering a Veteran's Day essay contest. This was not mandatory and they went above and beyond to write and submit their essay. Congratulations to Ryan and Navid!!!
Dear Principals:
It is my pleasure to announce the two winners in my Veterans Day Essay Contest! The following students have been chosen:
1st Place Winner: Ryan Le, 6th grader at Big Hollow Middle School
2nd Place Winner: Navid Navidzadeh, 6th grader at Big Hollow Middle School
In the Veterans Day Essay Contest, submissions were judged by the TLS Veterans Organization and were based on originality, creativity, compliance with the assigned topic, factual accuracy, grammar, organization of topic, and scope of research.
I would like to thank you for honoring Veterans Day and empowering students to use their creative minds. Your work is shaping the future of Illinois! And a special thank you to Big Hollow Middle School for the outstanding participation from the 6th grade students.
Great things!
In addition, as a district our staff has provide two $500 scholarships for Grant Seniors graduating this year who are Big Hollow Alumn!
THANK YOU
Sharing our Space!
