Blue Chevaliers present GAVC instructor Dite with certificate of appreciation

The Blue Chevaliers of the 40 & 8s Voiture 1195 presented Grundy Area Vocational Center criminal justice instructor Brent Dite with a certificate of appreciation.

The certificate, according to a Thursday news release, highlights his career with the Morris Police Department and rise to Chief of Police, and his eight-plus years at the GAVC.

Dite said even if students don’t pursue a career in law enforcement, it helps make them better citizens.

Steve Huetteman and Jerry Terando of the Blue Chevaliers presented the award.

The 40 & 8 is a fraternal honor society of miliatry veterans that support veteran programs, the community, and sponsor nursing scholarships for Morris Community High School seniors.
