Veterans Day 2020BGPS schools honor veterans with virtual assemblies

Traditionally, Battle Ground schools serve as hosts to a full schedule of school-wide assemblies, guest speakers, musical performances, and more to celebrate Veterans Day. While these in-person celebrations aren’t possible this year, students and staff got creative and hosted these events virtually. Below are links to just some of the events that happened at district schools. Note that not all school activities from this year are included below, as some were not intended to be made publicly available. 

Battle Ground High School

The school’s AFJROTC cadets gathered five local veterans via Zoom to ask them questions about serving in the military. More than 90 students submitted questions, and the senior cadet leadership culled the list down to twelve and set out to interview the veterans. A recording of the BGHS guest speaker panel is available on YouTube.
