Central Lee FFA participates in Wreath’s Across America!! Wreath’s Across America is a wonderful non-profit organization that was established in 2007 by a wreath producer named Morrill Worcester. Its purpose is to teach the next generation the value of freedom, and to honor those who have served by laying wreaths on the gravesites of the many men and women who have served this country. The Central Lee FFA Chapter is part of the thousands nationwide that help keep this precious tradition going by volunteering each year during the holiday season. They certainly showed their gratitude by placing 1,900 wreaths this year in remembrance of our fallen heroes at the National Cemetery in Keokuk, Iowa!
