NOTE: We are restricting the gathering to 10 students. Parents may attend, but please do not take a volunteer space meant for the students. Deadline to respond is Thursday, November 10th.
Volunteers will meet at Chapel (on the grounds) at 10:00 a.m. to be given instructions regarding the collection of flags on grave sites of our military veterans. We have 400+ veterans buried at Monocacy Cemetery.
We will gather in groups of about 3 volunteers per section, each would walk the assigned cemetery section to pick up the flags placed the previous Saturday.
We estimate 1 working hour for this event. All ages welcome, from 6th grade up. Hilly, rough ground must be traversed. Dress appropriately for weather of the day. We will place flags rain or shine.
SSL students will be required to write a descriptive paragraph about this event on their SSL form, which each student must bring with them to this event. DOWNLOAD THE PRE-FILLED FORM HERE.
