Back in November, elementary students in Edneyville Elementary's student-led Outreach Club raised $500 to send a veteran to Washington, D.C. to visit their war memorials through Blue Ridge Honor Flight.
The veteran they've sponsored will be taking his trip to D.C. this Saturday, and the students (and their teacher leaders) will be waiting to welcome the veterans home with celebration at the Asheville Regional Airport! They have also prepared letters for the veterans on the Honor Flight, which will be read during a "mail call" on the return flight from D.C.
If you're interested in covering this homecoming, and learning more about the Outreach Club and its mission at Edneyville, the students and staff plan to gather at the airport at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, May 4. For additional details, please contact Angie King at 243-1840.
