Middle School Students Lend Helping Hands to American Legion By Paul Chasko
E
ighth-grade students from the Ringgold Middle School spent the sunny Friday morning before Memorial Day placing American flags on the graves of veterans at Sacred Heart Cemetery near Monongahela. Placing these flags on the graves of each and every veteran’s grave in the cemetery on the weekend before Memorial Day is a daunting task faced by the John C. Ford American Legion Post 949 of Carroll Township. They simply don’t have enough members to place flags on the hundreds of veteran’s graves, so they asked for and received helping hands from 13 eighth-grade students from Finley Middle School. The kids showed up by school bus at 9 a.m., and, with direction from several Legion members, finished the job before noon.
The Finley Middle School student team and the American Legion members worked together to get the job done.
