Just a reminder that the memorial vigil to honor Bruce Morlack, our beloved crossing guard, is taking place today, December 15 at 4:00 PM at the Burlington City High School Soccer & Baseball Fields. Please park in the back lot of the high school, accessible via Second Street.

This peaceful gathering will feature glow sticks instead of candles to create a safe atmosphere. The Morlack family asks that we focus on honoring Bruce as a father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend and to leave concerns aside for the evening. Let us come together as a community to show the Morlack family how much we loved Bruce and the lasting impact he had on us all.
