Hmm, wouldn't really know about that...
There are memorial services at the war cemeteries, but I don't know if the graves are tended by schoolchildren. It could be, but I've never heard of it.
I do know that traditionally each year at "Dodenherdenking" schoolchildren do put up wreaths at the National Monument in Amsterdam.
