Center Boulevard School marked Flag Day with a moving and patriotic assembly held in front of the school, bringing together students, staff, and community members in a heartfelt celebration of our nation’s flag.
As attendees arrived, they were greeted by the uplifting sounds of the school band, which played a selection of patriotic songs, ranging from “My Country Tis of Thee” to the soulful “Kum ba yah.”
The assembly commenced with the Pledge of Allegiance, a moment that unified everyone in attendance in a collective display of respect for the flag and what it represents. This was followed by an informative reading about the origins of Flag Day.
A particularly poignant part of the assembly was the recognition of veterans in attendance, all of whom were relatives of CBS students. Each veteran was introduced by their family member, creating a personal and touching tribute. The veterans were then thanked for their service, eliciting heartfelt applause and appreciation from the crowd. This segment of the program underscored the deep connections between the school community and those who have served our country, adding a layer of personal meaning to the day’s celebrations.
Following the honoring of the veterans, the entire student body came together to sing “Proud to be an American” by Lee Greenwood. The collective voices of the students resonated with pride and patriotism.
The Flag Day celebration at Center Boulevard School was a beautiful and stirring event, reflecting the school’s commitment to honoring the flag and the values it represents.
