A group of Keota High School students took some time to decorate the Keota cemetery in preparation of Memorial Day. Thursday morning, a sophomore U.S. history class decorated graves with flags of fallen veterans. U.S. history teacher Mike Jacobsen says he thinks it’s important for the younger generation to celebrate those who served before them, “It’s always a nice way to connect to the past, help our community, honor our veterans, and think about their own futures and what they want to leave behind.” This is the third year Jacobsen has had his class take part in this project.
