Learning About the American Flag

On November 4th, our 4th grade students had a special visit from Jonathan Rodriguez, who presented a lesson about the American flag. Students learned what each part of the flag symbolizes, how to show respect when they see the color guard during parades, assemblies, and other ceremonies, and how to properly greet veterans.

Thank you, Jonathan, for sharing your knowledge and helping our students understand the importance of honoring our nation’s symbols and those who serve!
