SCHOOL FACILITIES <br />MEMORIALS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS <br />9700 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />School- sponsored memorials and remembrances serve an important role in the grief <br />process for students and staff. They promote the healing process by providing an <br />opportunity for individuals to join together and participate in a ritual. A memorial may <br />take many forms, from a simple tree planting to a more traditional "service." In addition, <br />school remembrances and memorials give permission and legitimacy to the process of <br />grieving and may mark the beginning of a return to some semblance of normalcy in <br />school -based routines. Therefore, remembrances and memorials for individuals <br />affiliated with Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 may be held or placed in <br />appropriate District facilities or on school grounds. <br />Guidelines <br />Remembrances <br />Memorials of flowers, personal messages, and mementoes will be allowed at <br />lockers, parking spaces, or other areas on District property. <br />2.
