The Falcons had a busy and impactful Day 2 in DC. After our morning on Capitol Hill, we spent the afternoon visiting the 9/11 Memorial at the Pentagon, the MLK Monument, as well as the Holocaust Museum. This evening we visited the Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam Wall, where we found the name of a local veteran, Michael Ruhter of Minden, who died in combat in 1969. We then ended our day visiting the Lincoln Memorial. Tomorrow we are off to Gettysburg!
Band Camp is almost here!
This is for all band members 7th-12th grade.
We still need 3 more volunteers to bring snacks and drinks. Email elaine.arehart@whfalcons.org if you can help.

After traveling all night and morning, the Falcons have landed in DC!!
