Request for Coloring Contest                                Coloring Page 

In an effort to give children an opportunity to Support our Troops and Honor Our Veterans, the Morgan County Veterans Committee has decided to delegate our events this fall directly to the children by holding a coloring contest.

This flyer was approved by the school board on Sept. 27, 2007.  We are asking children to COLOR a page to show their patriotism. The spirit of Morgan County has been stirred and united due to the efforts and sacrifices of our hometown heroes. Please have your children reflect their feelings down on paper by coloring and creating their own pictures and messages.  The emphasis should be on a positive response. We aim to provide positive ways to demonstrate the importance of our community’s most valuable asset – our children. America's children have a lot to teach us as a nation standing together. History shows that no matter how diligent we are in expressing our feelings as a nation, that children more than often express our feelings in a more powerful way.  You have permission to photocopy as many copies as you wish to hand out.
