MEDIA RELEASE__Pandora-Gilboa Local Schools has unveiled a new Veterans Wall display in the main hallway to honor graduates from all branches of the U. S. military. The project, designed by Superintendent Dr. Jeff Wise, recognizes the service and sacrifice of former students who have served their country.
The idea for the display was inspired by local veteran Larry McCullough Sr., who shared with Dr. Wise that he had seen a similar wall at another school. Moved by the suggestion and the opportunity to pay tribute to the district’s veterans, Dr. Wise brought the idea to life at Pandora-Gilboa.
“I’ve always had deep respect for the men and women who have sacrificed so much for all Americans,” said Dr. Wise. “This wall is a small way for our school community to express our gratitude and ensure that our graduates’ service is remembered.”
Not everyone is ready, willing and able to handle an auditorium full of excited 4th-8th graders. Ohio Lt. Governor Jim Tressel was not only ready, when he appeared at the Ada Schools on Thursday, November 13 to promote the Governor's Healthy Ohio Team Tressel Fitness Challenge, he was determined to turn up the volume.
