July 6, 2009

 
MADISON - Tony Evers' inauguration ceremony as state superintendent Monday will include a lot of involvement from school children.

Evers' ceremony will be at Hi-Mount Community School in Milwaukee.

Students will serve as greeters, their artwork will be on display, and the Pledge of Allegiance will be led by a fifth-grader from Vieau School in Milwaukee. The Lincoln Center of the Arts Middle School Jazz Band will perform the national anthem and other music.

Demond Means, superintendent for the Mequon-Thiensville School District, will serve as master of ceremonies. And the oath of office will be administered by Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley.

Evers was elected to a four-year term in the nonpartisan post in April.
