Dexter, Missouri - Rainey-Mathis Funeral Home, sponsored a pizza party for T. S. Hill middle school 6th grade history students for their assistance in placing the Christmas Wreaths at the Missouri State Veterans Cemetery on December 12th.

Mindy Thurmon encourages the student to raise money each year for the Wreaths Across America event.  She is the 6th grade history teacher at T.S. Hill Middle School.

The students raised over $1,600 and have increased their goal to $2,000 for the 2016 event.

Cemetery Supervisor Ken Swearingen was on hand to personally thank those who participated.

Pizza was served to the students by the Administrative staff of the school.

Greg Mathis hopes that this will become an annual service project for the school and Rainey-Mathis Funeral Home looks forward to sponsoring the pizza party on a annual basis.
