She told the students that residents have a choice &#8211; they can walk through the lunch line and choose their meals or they can sit at tables and be waited on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important for students to give back to people who have done things for them even when the students are not aware of it,\u201d said Principal Dr. Cheryol Mitchell, who accompanied the group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a nice environment to be in, to help people who are not seen like others are,\u201d said Maya Toliver, president of the student ambassadors. \u201cTo put a smile on their faces just makes me feel good. I hope we can do this again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Classmate Daysha Gathing explained what she enjoyed. \u201cI like getting to know people and ask them what they want,\u201d she said. \u201cThey crack jokes and they say, \u2018I want this instead of that.\u2019 We get a one-on-one experience with them here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goulet said the Missouri Veterans Home encourages more public school participation so students can interact with the residents and earn community service hours needed to graduate. Home is a long-term care facility managed by the Missouri State Veterans Commission and is one of seven such homes in Missouri.
