MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: VHSL and the NFHS SUBJECT: National Anthem Project MENC:
The National Association for Music Education is sponsoring an initiative called the
National Anthem Project. The primary goal of
this initiative is to restore The NFHS is one of a number of "Supporting Organizations" for the National Anthem Project and is initiating a nationwide promotion to assist with the project. The NFHS has invited the VHSL and other member state associations to read a brief script prior to the performance of the National Anthem at all appropriate state association events throughout the school year. While this initiative will effectively publicize the project to a broad audience, the potential for even greater exposure exists by extending the project to local school events throughout the nation. Your school has the opportunity to participate in this worthwhile project, and we hope you will take part in this initiative. Two scripts have been prepared to be read prior to the performance of the National Anthem at all appropriate school events throughout the 2006-07 school year, and they are enclosed herein: Script 1 -- To be used when you are using a live performance of the National Anthem Script 2 -- To be used when you are using a pre-recorded performance of the National Anthem Please join your state association and the NFHS in this important project. With a minimum amount of effort, your school can promote both patriotism and music education in schools! |

We Want You! During the coming year the
VHSL intends to conduct a Strategic Planning initiative that will help give our
organization long-range direction over the next five or six years. We invite principals,
athletic/activities directors, superintendents, coaches and citizens at large to
participate in this process. Also in 2006-07 and
subsequent years, the League needs people to assist with different advisory committees
dealing with a variety of issues ranging from Calendar and Equity to Division Playoffs and
Sportsmanship. If you are interested in
serving on an advisory committee or the Strategic Planning initiative, we ask you to check
your areas of interest on a response form linked below and submit this to your region
chairman and the VHSL office. Additional information will
be listed on future Weekly Updates, and we hope many readers will consider taking an
active role in this manner. |
