Honoring a Colleague about to be Deployed for Military Service

[Dr. Ronald G. Shapiro]

While doing a Google search yesterday I located an article in the Jackson Sun (TN) describing how the faculty, staff and students at University School of Jackson organized a surprise parade to honor Danielle Boyd, a staff member departing for six months of military service.

I thought that the parade provided a unique combination of honoring a colleague, staff member and friend, educating students about military service and entertaining/having fun.

For a more complete narrative and photo album of this event, please refer to the school's website ( http://www.usjbruins.org/about/administration/sgt-boyd.php ) as the links to the original articles in the Jackson Sun are no longer available.
