The solemn ceremony involved laying flags at the graves of those who served, a poignant reminder of their sacrifice. This heartfelt tribute is a part of our commitment to remember and honor the loved ones we have lost in service to our great Nation.

This past weekend was full of fun for Lewis & Clark Young Marines, we celebrated our annual Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat event!

The fun kicked off with our XO Mr. Vernier getting a pie to the face from the Young Marine who sold the most pies from our Willamette Valley Pie Company fundraiser! Congratulations to YM/SSGT Gallant!

We then changed over into costumes if we brought them, and played all kinds of fun games, like musical chairs, spooky darts, tic tac toe with pumpkins and so many more!

To finish off the fun we did a trunk or treat and were delighted to see so many fun and creatively decorated trunks!

A huge thank you to all of the staff volunteers, and to all of the parent volunteers that made this event happen, we could not have done it without you all! Have a safe and happy holiday this week!
