Our Cope Ambassadors and friends were honored to participate in Wreaths Across America this morning. Together, they helped place wreaths to remember and honor the brave men and women who served our country.
Wreaths Across America is a national nonprofit dedicated to remembering the fallen, honoring those who serve, and teaching future generations the value of freedom. Today’s experience was a meaningful reminder of gratitude, respect, and service.
We are so proud of our students for representing Cope with kindness, leadership, and patriotism. ❤️🤍💙
Thank you to our Ambassador sponsors, Mrs. Friedlund and Mrs. Ennis, and fellow Cope Staff, Mrs. Vance, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Ward and our Cope parents for their time, support, and dedication in helping make this meaningful service opportunity possible.
