Mepham High School begins fundraising for Field of Honor

Seniors in the Wellington C. Mepham High School Participation in Government classes will set up their 10th annual Flag Field of Honor this fall. 

This year’s proceeds will benefit the Mepham Senior Service Learning Project’s partnership with the Ronald McDonald House program. Ronald McDonald Houses around the world accommodate families with hospitalized children under 21 years of age who are being treated at nearby hospitals and medical facilities. These houses are located just minutes away from the special care hospitals that are required to help children return to full health. Ronald McDonald Houses also allow families to stay free of charge and provide families with home-cooked meals.

Since its inception in 2009, the Senior Service Learning Project has raised over $700,000 for local and national charities through the generosity and support of the school community. 

Those interested in honoring a family member or friend are asked to please complete the attached form and return to Mepham High School Flag Field of Honor at 2401 Camp Ave., Bellmore, NY 11710, by Friday, Oct. 25.

Flags will be flown from Nov. 3 to Dec. 8, 2024.
