Student Honor Flight Guardians from Parsons, Chetopa and St. Paul high schools participated in training at PHS this year that included safely maneuvering wheelchairs through an obstacle course. Students not only had fun, but learned basics, like getting wheelchairs over wide cracks, curbs, and through doors. In addition, students received short history lessons on the various major wars, and engaged in other training throughout the morning to prepare them for the June 4-6 Honor Flight to D.C. with area military veterans. Students will get to meet and greet the veterans they have each been paired with this Saturday, have lunch and get to know each other as they discuss the upcoming trip.
