Volunteers will meet at Chapel (on the grounds) at 10:00 a.m. to be given instructions regarding the collection of flags on grave sites of our military veterans. We have 494 veterans buried at Monocacy Cemetery.
We will gather in groups of 3+ volunteers per section. Each group would walk the assigned cemetery row to collect the flags placed on Veteran grave sites.
We estimate 1 working hour for this event. All ages welcome, from 6th grade up. Hilly, rough ground must be traversed. Dress appropriately for weather of the day. We will collect flags rain or shine.
Each student MUST bring their SSL form to this event and will be required to write a descriptive paragraph about this event. Download the pre-filled form here: https://monocacycemetery.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/MC_Memorial-Day_060124.pdf
Once all the flags have been collected, there will be a gravestone cleaning workshop for anyone wishing to participate. Cleaning supplies will be provided.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
