The Meliora School 9/11 Tribute Celebration Wednesday September 11th at 9:00 a.m.

The Meliora School, located at 2243 Alcovy rd Dacula would like to invite all local families to join us as we pay tribute to those who serve their country. Everyone is welcome to come out for this very teachable moment. Mayor Jimmy Wilbanks of Dacula will be here at 9:00 a.m paying our students a visit as a part of our Community Helpers study. We strive to teach our children that a community helper is anyone who makes our community a better place.  The people who have occupations that make life better for all around them. The policemen and policewomen who keep our communities safe, the doctors and nurses who help us all stay healthy, the teachers who help students learn, the postal carriers who deliver mail come rain or snow- these are people in professions that directly impact the lives of others. The people in professions or occupations related to public service that makes our lives easier or better are the community helpers. At Meliora, helping children identify with their community and feel a part of it is important. Children want to understand their place in the world around them and connections with community helpers and outreach projects make a difference.
