Morinville Public Elementary School students Dylan Kessler and Xavier Hooper clean near the headstone of a World War I soldier at the Morinville Cemetery. Teachers taught the students to walk through the cemetery respecting the markers and headstones. The boys automatically removed their hats when informed it was the resting place for a soldier. They rearranged the wreath in its proper resting place and resumed the clean up.
