Jenkins Middle School to Dedicate Veterans Memorial Created Through Former Student’s Eagle Scout Project

 

Community invited to honor military service members with a dedication, veterans reception, and school assembly

 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Jenkins Middle School will bring students, veterans, military families, and community members together on Wednesday, November 11 to dedicate a memorial bench and commemorative rocks honoring veterans and military service members. The event is open to the public.

 

The memorial is the Eagle Scout project of Amelia Horn, a former Jenkins student. Approximately 10 volunteers helped bring the project to life, creating a lasting tribute at the school she once attended.

 

The dedication will begin at 2:15 p.m. with veterans and Jenkins’s Purple Star students participating. A small reception for veterans will follow at 2:30 p.m., and an assembly bringing students, staff, and guests together will begin at 2:45 p.m. Veterans and military families will be recognized during the celebration.

 

As a designated Purple Star School, Jenkins Middle School supports military-connected students and their families through the academic and social-emotional challenges that can accompany military life. The memorial dedication reflects that commitment by bringing the school community together to honor service members and recognize the families who serve alongside them.

 

The project connects a former student’s service to the military families within the Jenkins community. Through the memorial and dedication, the school will offer a place to recognize those who have served and an opportunity for students to express their appreciation.

 

Veterans, military families, Jenkins alumni, and community members are invited to attend and join the school in honoring military service.

 

Event location: Jenkins Middle School, 6410 Austin Bluffs Pkwy

Dedication Ceremony: Outside the front of the building with Purple Star students at 2:15 PM
