Join members of the Senn community, veterans and Gold Star family members for a protest at Senn High School. The event will feature the nationally recognized Eyes Wide Open exhibit of soldiers’ boots. We say no to military programs inthe schools like the Rickover Naval Academy (RNA) that has been forced into Senn High School, despite the opposition of the community, parents, teachers, students and others.
