America’s veterans are some of our nation’s bravest, hardest-working men and women. However, it’s hard to show them the appreciation they deserve when out of uniform, they’re more camouflaged than ever. Greenlight A Vet is a campaign to establish visible national support for our veterans by changing one light to green. Put the green light in a visible location - on your porch, in your home, and/or at your office - and keep it glowing every day as a symbol of appreciation and support for our veterans. Why green? Because it is the color of hope, renewal and well-being. “Greenlight” is also a term commonly used to activate forward movement. The simple action of changing one light to green is intended to spark a national conversation regarding the recognition of veterans, and “greenlight” them forward as valued members of our communities.

The basic idea behind this program is to have community members volunteer to mentor seniors throughout the school year, helping them with college scholarship as well as college applications. The volunteers would mainly be meeting with students to talk about what scholarships and colleges they are applying for, reviewing applications, letters, etc. This is a great way for community members to be involved with our students. Right now we have about 40 seniors signed up that would like to work with a mentor. If you are interested in being a part of Pirate Pursuits, please contact David Norton, Vice Principal, at 481- 2525 x2113 or david.norton@morrow.k12.or.us COAT DRIVE UNTIL FEBRUARY 29 Bring your coats, sweaters, gloves, and hats to Columbia River Community Health Services, 450 Tatone Street.
