NORTH POINT CHRISTIAN ACADEMY VISITS THE VETERANS PARK




About 200 students from North Point Christian Academy gathered at the Carroll County Veterans Memorial Park, around the flag pole in the center of the park. Pastor Rodney Agan led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America followed by a prayer for our country, veterans, troops and students. This was the first stop for the students as they began a day of Community Service. There were numerous teachers, parents and others along with the children and Randy Bradford, who is the Administration Pastor and organizer of the days’ activities. The students were challenged to find Veterans on the Walls of Honor with their last name. Many had not visited the park before and were surprised to find so many impressive features and delighted to know that they could buy a brick and have their name inscribed on it. Commission Chairman Bill Chappell welcomed everyone and Park Committee Officer Violette Denney pointed out the various Walls of Honor and answered questions.
