Recite the Pledge of Allegiance on VH Today!

Would you like to go live on VH Today? We are looking for enthusiastic speakers to represent their student group on VH Today by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Those who volunteer should be a member of a student club, team, or group at Van Hoosen. Volunteers must meet at the VH Today News Room in the Media Center by 7:25 am. They should also inform their home room teacher the day before so that they are not marked absent.
When you recite the pledge, you will state your name and what student group you are in.
 
To sign up, click the following link and be sure to write what student group you take part in.
