Parent Resource Documents Memorial Day Tradition Continues
Our students did a fantastic job this morning as they placed flags throughout St. Hedwig's Cemetery. There are a total of 401 veterans buried there who we were able to honor. Special thank you Rachel Cook, playing violin, and Jack Purcell, playing trumpet, who treated us to patriotic music that concluded with a rendition of Taps.
