VETERANS HERITAGE PROJECT

The program utilizes interactions with veterans and their service stories to teach students values such as honesty, integrity, hard work, reliability, achievement, empathy, citizenship, and character. This intergenerational mentorship fosters compassion and builds student self-confidence.
