The Student Councils at PDS and Huachuca Mountain proudly volunteered with Wreaths Across America at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery, placing wreaths on the graves of our fallen soldiers.
This meaningful experience helped students learn the importance of remembering and honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Moments like these teach gratitude, service, and respectβand help our students understand the lasting impact of remembering those who served.
We are incredibly proud of our students for leading with heart and honoring our heroes. β€οΈπ€π
