Annual Day of Memory
This Saturday morning at 10:00 am is our annual Day of Memory, held at the Memorial Garden just outside the auditorium entrance in the front parking lot. This is a short program sponsored by our high school student council for the purpose of remembering students, over the history of United Local Schools, who passed away before having the opportunity to graduate. Friends and family from around the community attend each year. This year, our program will include remembrance of three United students with specific ties to this school year. Anderson Bock passed away when he was in 7th grade. Anderson would have been part of this year's graduating class. Lilly Poteet was a 6th grader who died in a car accident this past fall. And just weeks ago, we lost one of our 11th graders, Zeb Snyder. As we remember these three students and others lost over the history of our school, all are welcome to attend our annual Day of Memory program on Saturday.
