Flag Day


Well, in case you missed it on your calendar, today is USA Flag Day. What does that mean to us in the UK, well at our school, it means they fly the American flag over the school for the day. There is a ceremony by the flagpole, and all the American kids come dressed up in their red, white and blue. My kids were very excited to wear their Uncle Sam hats we got in the mail last week in a 4th of July party pack (from our sweet friends, the Barnes). B was wearing a flag shirt her friend brought her in May so they were all decked out and thinking of home. Lest you think our school is biased towards Americans, there is a flag flying day for every country represented at the school- which there are MANY.
