To commemorate Flag Day on June 14, John Lewis Childs School students and staff joined together on the field for an assembly.

The school’s Color Guard club, along with members from the American Legion Post 334, opened the ceremony with the Presentation of Colors. Following, chorus students sang “The Star-Spangled Banner,” led by music teacher Chelsea Stern.

Each grade-level then performed a song or poem. Kindergartners sang “USA Hooray for Flag Day,” first graders sang “Fifty Nifty States,” second graders sang “This Land Is Your Land,” third graders sang “Old Glory,” fourth graders recited “The Symbols of Our Country,” fifth graders recited the poem “We Salute the Flag” and sixth graders concluded the performances with the song “God Bless the USA.”
