Installation Ceremony Script- Hero Version
2016-17 State Association Board
Installation Ceremony Script- Hero Version
We are all surrounded by heroes – heroes of all shapes and sizes. Police, firefighters,members of the military, school lunch ladies, just to name a few. We grew up reading and watching a different sort of hero. We watched and read about the heroic actions of superheroes such as Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, Spiderman and The Flash.
I see before me many heroes. Some super and some everyday ordinary but just as super heroes.
