A long standing service learning project for 4th graders is to honor local veterans who have passed away and buried in the Millinocket Cemetery.
The students place flags on their graves for Memorial Day. This year, Ms. Heather Ambrose (a member of the American Legion) led this project for Ms. DeSilva’s social studies classes. This year the students spent the whole afternoon at the cemetery, giving them the chance to really connect with the veterans.
Students also read Rolling Thunder and wrote about what Memorial Day means to them. Although it has always been seen as a day off from school, students in 4th grade now understand that it’s a day to thank those who have fought for our country.
We will be having our last spirit week for the school year 2024-2025 the week of June 2nd-6th.
Reminder that June 6th is an early release day due to class day at Stearns for the senior class.
