The Wellington C. Mepham High School class of 2025 recently installed its 10th annual Flag Field of Honor.
Students, led by social studies teachers Kerry Dennis and Chris Patten and department chairperson Robyn Einbinder, organized the Senior Service Learning Project event in partnership with the Ronald McDonald House.
Ronald McDonald Houses accommodate families with hospitalized children who are being treated at nearby hospitals and medical facilities. These houses, like the one near Cohen’s Children’s Hospital in New Hyde Park, allow families to stay free of charge. They also provide families with home-cooked meals, which seniors have also volunteered to make.
Since its inception in 2009, the Mepham Senior Service Learning Project has raised over $700,000 for local and national charities through the generosity and support of the school community.
The flags will be on display through Dec. 8 along the front of the school’s Camp Avenue campus.
