Dexter, MO - T.S. Hill Middle School 6th grade students raised over $10,000 for Wreaths Across America.  That's a total of 1,013 wreaths!

Terry Bryeans, Social Studies Teacher, said, "The classes competed against each other with the class that raised the most money would receive a pizza party.  They did well over expectations!"

Wreaths were sold online and in person and some students went door-to-door selling the wreaths.  Each wreath will be placed on a veteran's grave at the Wreaths Across America ceremony at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Bloomfield on Saturday, December 18th at 11:00 .m.

Bryeans said that the students will be bused to the event and will help place the wreath at each grave.

The winning class was the 6th hour social studies class raising $2,150.  The competition was tight as the 2nd place class raised $2,000

Please join them for the Wreaths Across America ceremony at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 18, 2021 at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Bloomfield.
