This week’s A+ Award goes to the eighth-grade students at St. Mark's School in Cleveland for honoring local veterans.
They began by writing essays to express their appreciation, with one student, Dominic, honoring his Uncle Johnny as a role model.
The students then invited nearly 50 veterans and their families to a prayer service, where they folded a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol and shared its significance.
Following the service, students hosted a reception where veterans read the students' essays and cards.
Air Force Sergeant Gary Schuld, a Vietnam War veteran, praised the students for their respect and leadership, noting the positive impact on both veterans and their families.
The St. Mark's students received the A+ Award for their meaningful tribute to the veterans!
