Flags

Many elementary schools have a daily flag-raising ceremony where students gather to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the national anthem. The flagpole becomes a focal point for these routines, fostering a sense of unity and shared values among students, teachers, and staff. The act of raising and lowering the flag, as well as properly folding and storing it, teaches students about flag etiquette and respect for national symbols. It provides an opportunity for educators to explain the significance of these protocols and how they reflect reverence for the homeland.
