The students volunteered to rake at the homes of eight veterans across the community, giving their time on a day off from school. “My Grandpa was in the military, he was a veteran. I like the idea of helping out veterans so today I just wanted to give back to the community,” one student said. The event was organized in partnership with the local VFW post and coordinated by interim principal Dave Dunn. Click here to see more News10NBC’s Veterans Day coverage.
