Students in English and social studies classes will hear a presentation from Percy in the auditorium, before heading outside for a re-enactment.
"The soldiers do use blanks to illustrate the tension and noise and chaos of battle," District 202 Community Relations Director Tom Hernandez said in a press release. Hernandez said Plainfield police have been notified about the re-enactments.
The first presentation will start at about 7:05 a.m.; re-enactments will happen throughout the school day, with the last presentation at 1:14 p.m.
