Dear Parents:

                On Friday, September 10, 2010, Fort Leavenworth USD 207 will hold a Freedom Walk. Freedom Walks were started in 2005 by Pentagon employees wishing to commemorate the attack on the Pentagon and honor the lives of those lost on September 11, 2001.   They now have become a way to renew our commitment to freedom and to honor all who help us maintain our freedom especially our veterans, past and present. 

                You are invited to join your children and participate in our walk on September 10, 2010. The children will leave from their schools between 9:00 A.M. and 9:15 A.M. to walk to the Normandy track which is located behind the Board of Education office on Biddle Boulevard. Each school will follow a different route to the track. At 9:45 A.M., a brief ceremony will be held. The students will join in the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, participate in the singing of the National Anthem to celebrate the National Anthem project, and sing a patriotic medley. They will then walk back to their schools.

                Please join us on our walk. Wear Red, White and Blue to celebrate the day. Our offices will be closed from 8:30 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. in order for all district personnel to participate.
