Thanks to about 300 students and more than half of the staff, 50 local Korean War veterans were honored in substance and style. The substance has been several months in the making. Students compiled oral histories of those who fought in or lived during the conflict against communism five decades ago. The book is three or four weeks away from being published, but the students still celebrated their project's culmination Wednesday with their multimedia production, "Saluting Our Heroes -- Part II: The Korean War." | ||||

The Eagle's Landing Christian Academy senior has volunteered more than 500 hours with Circle of Friends through Henry County Parks and Recreation in addition to starting a group at her high school that partners students with special needs people who have graduated high school.
