This beautiful poppy wreath will remain on view at the park for several days after the ceremony. \nThis year\, the NFPP co-leaders\, Jodie Chen\, Candice Lin\, and Lucy Wei\, encouraged Lexington High School students to submit original poems on the theme of Memorial Day\, under the direction and guidance of Jane Day\, Chair of the LHS English Department. Two students will be invited to read their poems as part of the Musical Tribute. \nEarlier in the day\, there will be a Memorial Walk starting at the entrance to Munroe Cemetery at 10:00 a.m. The public is invited to join the Walk\, which will visit several memorials for a brief wreath-laying ceremony before arriving at Emery Park for the official Memorial Day Ceremony
