Rockville High School Salutes Veterans

Rockville High School is coming together to salute veterans with a collaboration of students through creativity and passion while raining money to support the families of hospitalized military personnel.

The drama club will present its show, Booby Trap, written by Ed Monk. It is set in the near future where an American soldier sits in a combat zone, trapped by a landmine. The story seamlessly weaves between the soldiers past, present, and future.
The evening's events also include performances by the RHS Vocalmotion and Vocalistas, directed by Michael Yachanin with accompaniment by Carol Yachanin.

The choir will perform songs, including Armed Forces- The Pride of America, Homeward Bound, and From Sea to Shining Sea with the musical stylings of Alex Blanchet on Trumpet and Joey Radcliff on snare. Also including solo performances by Lyla Rivera, Sierra Dickson, and Maurice Whitney.

Other performances include student performances of original poetry, student photo exhibits, student produced Film Short, raffle baskets, and much more.

All proceeds go to the Fisher House, which builds and maintains long term residential facilities near military hospitals nationwide.

The families of seriously injured soldiers need a place to stay during the long rehabilitation process. This vital need is not covered by any other source. Currently, there are 54 Fischer Houses nationwide.

Since 1990, the Fisher House has provided service to over 142,000 military families who have stayed more than 3.6 million days supporting their soldiers during rehabilitation.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for students, and free admission for seniors and veterans. The events will start at 7pm on Friday, November 11 at the Rockville High School auditorium on 70 Loveland Hill Drive in Vernon.

Please come out and support our students and veterans.
