Volunteers will meet at the Chapel (on the grounds) at 10:00 a.m. to be given instructions regarding the placement of flags on grave sites of our military veterans. We have 494 veterans buried at Monocacy Cemetery.
We will gather in groups of 3+ volunteers per section. Each group would walk the assigned cemetery row to place the flags.
We estimate 2 working hours for this event. All ages welcome, from 6th grade up. Hilly, rough ground must be traversed. Dress appropriately for the weather of the day. We will place flags rain or shine.
Each student MUST bring their SSL form to this event and will be required to write a descriptive paragraph about this event. Download the pre-filled form here: https://monocacycemetery.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/MC_Memorial-Day_052524.pdf
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
