Memorial Day is much more than a long weekend—it’s a day to pause, reflect, and remember the ultimate sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes. From soldiers who fell in battle to Veterans who carried their service with pride until their final days, their legacies live on in the freedoms we enjoy today.
The Greater Lafayette Civitan Club on this Memorial Day weekend 2026 honors the legacies of those who sacrificed their all.

Thanks to Gretchen Shissler, founder of Forest Academy, for speaking at our meeting this week!

Gretchen shared an engaging and informative presentation about the many benefits of outdoor learning and nature-based occupational therapy. She discussed how outdoor education can support creativity, problem solving, cognitive development, social skills, self-discipline, life skills, and academic performance in children.

We appreciate Gretchen taking the time to share the inspiring work being done at Forest Academy!
