The Quantico National Honor Society (NHS), National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), and Mu Alpha Theta teamed up on December 5 to contribute to the community and spread the Christmas cheer. They first traveled to the Quantico National Cemetery to help the Wreaths Across America foundation to help lay wreaths down on the veterans' graves. Through this action, the NHS, NJHS, and Mu Alpha Theta members were reminded of the ultimate sacrifice made for them and the United States by their men and women of the military. It was a very humbling experience that many of the students will remember and benefit from in their lives. After the wreath lying, the students traveled to Marian Manor, a nursing home in Stafford for elderly people, and sang Christmas carols for the patients there. The elders and students both had a great time singing and spreading the Christmas joy. After giving service to their community, the students traveled to Fredericksburg to have a nice lunch and enjoy the Christmas festivities going on there. Overall, all participants had a great time and were reminded what Christmas is truly supposed to be about with enjoying the season with the people you love.
