Dexter, Missouri - Mrs. Thurmon's 6th grade students at T.S. Hill Middle School in Dexter raised over $1,000 to purchase wreaths for the Wreaths Across America event at the Bloomfield Veteran's Cemetery. 

About 40 of the students braved the cold rain to attend and participate in the event.  The students not only raised the money to buy the wreaths, but helped place wreaths on graves.

Thank you for all that you do and the veterans and their families really appreciate their efforts.
