Project Poppy postponed
Plan for an art installation at the High School,
commemorating the service men and women of
New Jersey who gave their lives during World War I,
have been postponed until the fall.
Project Poppy calls for 3,837 metal poppies
to cascade from the left corner of Haddonfield
Memorial High School and across Veterans
Memorial Grove, the grassed area in front of the
school – one poppy for each life lost.
The project is being coordinated by Haddonfield
resident and Vietnam veteran Joseph McElroy,
who was inspired by a display of 888,246 ceramic
poppies draped from the Tower of London and
“planted” in its former moat (now grassed),
installed in the summer of 2014 to commemorate
the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I.
The Haddonfield installation was to have been
in place from Memorial Day to Independence Day.
Now, the target is the first week of October. The
tribute will remain in place until Veterans Day
– November 11.
It’s still “full steam ahead” with respect to making
the poppies, however. Individuals, families, and
community organizations are invited to purchase
poppy kits, at $20 apiece, and contribute their
creations to the project.
