Students attending Dayton Avenue, Eastport, South Street and Tuttle Avenue elementary schools donned their patriotic colors and handmade hats as they raised their American flags during separate Flag Day celebrations on June 14.

At all four ceremonies, local veterans, first responders and representatives attended the festivities punctuated by patriotic songs, students reading facts about the flag and what they flag means to them and information on traditional American symbols. Members of the local fire departments also raised the American flag on the fire truck ladder for all to pay tribute to the nation’s symbol of liberty and freedom.
