Honor Flight Fund Raiser

Honor Flight Challenge

Midway Heights is participating in the

Columbia Public Schools Verses Jefferson City Public Schools challenge

November 5th-November 30th

THE CHALLENGE

For the second year in a row, Columbia Public Schools has been challenged by Jefferson City Public Schools to raise money for the Honor Flight.  The goal is to raise as much as possible and more than Jeff City during the month of November. 

Our classrooms will be trying to raise 50 cents per student to send veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorials.  It costs $300 to sponsor one veteran on the flight.  With more than 1,000 WWII veterans dying each day (20 each day in Missouri), it's important to express our thanks and gratitude now before time runs out.

WHAT IS HONOR FLIGHT

Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for their sacrifices.  Honor Flight transports our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials.  Top priority is given to the senior veterans - World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill. It costs $300 to sponsor one veteran on the flight.

                                                        

 WHAT CAN YOU DO

Teachers will be raising money by giving $1.00 for each day they were jeans through the month of November.
