Young citizens at Wading River School had a special assembly about Flag Day on June 14 surrounding the flagpole in front of the school where they learned about the importance of this national symbol. The Fifth Grade Band conducted by Mrs. Meli played patriotic songs and all the students joined in on singing “You’re a Grand Old Flag” led by Mr. Verity.

Additional flags were placed at the main entrance to the school and all along the front walkway. “It was a wonderful way to celebrate the values we hold dear,” Principal Parrinello said.
