NEWS FROM THE PANTHER DEN
WEEK 36 EDITION
WEEK 36 REFLECTION
Memorial Day Weekend is usually the "unofficial" start of summer. With an extended weekend and school reopening on Wednesday, it will definitely have an early summer vacation feel to it. While it is often a weekend of barbecues and relaxing, the weekend means so much more to so many. This weekend gives us a chance to celebrate the strength of our nation, the strength of our community and of our individual families. This strength is due to the sacrifices from those that have come before us. Those sacrifices by the men and women who paid the ultimate price for our country so that we have the opportunity to be educated, to educate, to serve, to protect, to celebrate, to live.
As we give thanks this Memorial Day Weekend for the hope that is to come, let us not forget all those whose hope for a brighter tomorrow, whose hope for freedom and whose love for country gave them all the strength they would need. There are no words that can express our gratitude for what cannot be repaid. As we remember the heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice, we have an obligation to keep their spirit alive by educating others, serving our communities, participating in commemorative activities like our town parade and most importantly reflecting on how fortunate we are to have the freedoms that we have today. My hope is that this weekend our community does each of these things as we remember and honor those who sacrificed their lives for our country.
On behalf of Pequannock Township High School, have a safe Memorial Day weekend!
