Kindergarten students at the Early Childhood Center Columbus Avenue School in the Freeport School District took time to honor those who fought for our country. Joined by their teachers, the students proudly displayed the American Flag and marched around the outside of their school wearing flag hats for their Memorial celebration. Before the march, Assistant Principal Renee Crump spoke with the students and discussed the true meaning of Memorial Day. During the event, President Ken Bagatelle of the national philanthropic organization Woodmen of the World
presented teachers and students with a new American Flag to be hung in front of their school.
