Junior Serves on Honor Flight

Junior Molly Hayes spent a day last week serving on an Honor Flight. As a volunteer for the flight, Molly assisted a veteran as they visited the war memorials in Washington D.C.



"It was an amazing experience and something that I think more teenagers should be a part of," Molly said. "It is truly the opportunity of a lifetime, and I think it is very important to serve our veterans, as they are the people who fought for our freedom. I learned so much and would highly recommend this experience to everyone. I am so fortunate to have had this opportunity, and I hope to get the chance to go again in the future.”
