We are busy preparing for a special ceremony honoring Fallen Plymouth soldier SSG Matthew Pucino at WMS on Thursday June 13th at 11:00 AM. We are extremely honored to be able to pay tribute to Matthew with his parents and family that day. The program is below and I would also like to extend an invitation to any 8th grade parents that would like to attend. We will begin at 11:00 AM in the theater, please remember to check in at the main office.
The program is as follows:
1. Welcoming words
2. National Anthem
3. Arlington National Cemetery Slideshow produced by students
4. Words from LTC Adam Edwards
5. Words from Mr. Pucino (Matthew's father)
6. Poetry reading (students, Ms. Corbet, and also a poem read by Matthew's sister - Lisa)
7. Words from Melissa Pucino (Matthew's sister)
8. Family will explain the Matthew Pucino Memorial Foundation and show a slideshow of their "Blackbeard's ride" motorcycle fundraiser
9. Singing of God Bless America
10. Closing Words
11. We will end with Matthew's mother at her request personally putting on a Matthew Pucino memorial bracelet onto each student on stage for honoring her son and paying their respects at Arlington National Cemetery
I'm looking for a few more volunteers to provide food for the Pucino's to have lunch at school before leaving that day and also some dinner items they can eat as a family that evening. This will be an extremely emotional day for them and we would like them to have a worry-free family dinner they can bring home from the middle school.
