Adopt-a-School

On October 26, 2006, Bitz Intermediate School was officially adopted by the 2nd AA Battalion, the unit to which Sgt. Bitz had belonged. The Executive Officer, Major Robert B. Redher, and Bitz Principal, Dr. Richard Scroggs, formalized the adoption with the signing of a pledge. Each group made a promise to the other of their willingness to work toward a strong partnership. As part of that promise, Bitz students raised their right hands and repeated the school pledge.
