North & South Elementary first graders had quite the honor earlier this week as local veterans from the 40 & 8 visited to share about the history and importance of the American flag. Students recited the Pledge of Allegiance and learned how to properly fold the flag. πΊπΈ #WildcatTradition #ProudAmericans #Honor #Respect
