Randolph-Macon Academy in the community, weekend number two
Rockland Church’s Community Prayer Garden Dedication Ceremony was on Saturday from 10am-12pm. The R-MA choir sang as the progression made its way down to the gathering space near the garden. They helped escort Lieutenant Governor of Virginia Winsome Earle-Sears, as they sang “Come to the Garden.”
[spacer height=”20px”] In addition to the singing, we had cadets help with parking, handing out brochures, and greeting guests! The Lieutenant Governor took time to visit with a few cadets.
High Flight attended the Izaak-Walton League Community Day. Community Day is a chance for the public to come out and experience the park and see what they are all about! Cadets helped with face painting after some practice with R-MA art teacher, Mary Cook (she’s also an Izaak-Walton League member, board member, and youth program coordinator.)
R-MA Upper School Interact (sponsored by the Rotary Club of Front Royal) and Color Guard helped welcome Honor Flight veterans to the Ashburn Senior Center this weekend. During the day veterans were given the opportunity to share this event with fellow veterans, remember the ones we have lost, and share their stories and experiences with the cadets who helped. The cadets were greeting and aiding our veterans during this special event. They also loaded up a bus filled with wheelchairs, walkers, and food.
Honor Flight is an organization that currently honors those who served during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and veterans of any service era who are critically ill. Part of the Honor Flight mission is to show our nation’s veterans the appreciation and honor they deserve. www.honorflight.org
