With a theme centered on the United States flag, the assembly included performances by choir and drama students and a poetry reading.  Representatives of the local chapter of the Veterans for Foreign Wars spoke to the students about flag etiquette as well as the historical significance of “Taps.”  Students also observed a traditional folding of the flag.

Student council and teen leadership students, who were dressed in red, challenged their classmates to wear red on Fridays in support of American servicemen and servicewomen.
