Upper Arlington Schools Service-Learning Events
Each year, several Upper Arlington schools invite local veterans to share their stories with students at Jones Middle School, Wickliffe Progressive Elementary School, Hastings Middle School, and the Upper Arlington High School. These service-learning events are cherished by students, teachers and the veterans who join them, as an opportunity to connect across generations in a meaningful way, broadening students’ understanding of what it means to serve, and reinforcing for the veterans that their sacrifices were not in vain.
Thank you, veterans, for your service and for defending the freedoms we hold dear.
