In observance of National Flag Day June 14th, Lincoln School had a special ceremony the day before that was attended by many parents and others. The ceremony began with students, staff and Principal Kari Hamelinck singing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” our national anthem. Then the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Then Hamelinck explained the origin of Flag Day and why the U.S. flag has “13 stripes, alternate red and white” representing the 13 original colonies and 50 white stars representing 50 U.S. states.
