Sylvan Avenue Elementary School Pledges Allegiance to the Flag

Sylvan Avenue Elementary School was awash in red, white and blue as students and staff paid tribute to the American flag in honor of Flag Day.

During the ceremonial Flag Day program, students learned about the holiday’s history, the significance of the flag folding process and the importance of honoring the nation’s symbol.

Students demonstrated their patriotism and national pride by joining together to sing patriotic songs and by awarding winners of a Flag Day poetry and poster contest.
