Melinda Heights Elementary Tribute to Jordan Stanton

A third-grade class at Melinda Heights Elementary responded to the news this week that Marine Cpl. Jordan Stanton was killed in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. They made signs of appreciation and posted them on the street along Melinda Road.

Then the whole school got involved.

On Wednesday, the family of Kelly Loaiza, who is in Mrs. Kelly Davidson's class, was putting the posters up on the median. They told Patch that they hope to have people line the street from the elementary school all the way to Trabuco Hills during a service next week "Tuesday or Wednesday." Details are still sketchy, but be on the lookout if you'd like to honor Cpl. Stanton.
