Flag Day is a big deal at Clarence Center Elementary. They have a huge parade every year, and in addition to all of the fire trucks, police cars, and veterans, the whole school makes signs and marches. After the parade, they meet on the front lawn of the school, below the bell tower, for a program--singing, a couple of student speakers, and more singing. Even the superintendent and school board came out to support it. It's a tradition that's more than 35 years strong! I love living in a community that shows so much support for the schools, even on a such a small-scale basis as an elementary school parade.
Rick was able to take the day off, and that of course made it even more fun. After the parade, we were able to check the girls out of school, and we capped of the day with Slurpees.
Can't really beat that!
