It is with great pride to announce that Jackson Heights has officially restarted our Honor Flight program and plan on taking a trip this upcoming summer. In order to take this trip that supports our community veterans that have given so much for us, we are asking for support from the community. We will be holding various fundraisers throughout the remainder of the school year and beyond. We thank everyone for whatever they are able to contribute to this amazing cause. We have established a fund page for raising donations that we will keep active. Attached in the link to the honor flight Go Fund Me for Jackson Heights.
