Friends and family recently gathered at Wenonah Elementary School’s cafetorium for a patriotic ceremony and a presentation by third grade students honoring the extensive history and heritage of the American flag. 

As part of the patriotic display, students dressed in red, white and blue read poetry that included facts about the American flag. Students also performed a collection of patriotic songs such as the national anthem, “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and “God Bless America.” 

Concluding the ceremony, a group of students performed a flag-folding display before students exited the cafetorium to the song “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”
