On June 14, buildings across the Connetquot Central School District participated in special activities and ceremonies in honor of Flag Day.
At Edith L. Slocum Elementary School, a ceremony was held outside by the school’s flagpole. The school’s band and orchestra were invited to play patriotic songs. Parents and family members who are also first responders, servicemen or servicewomen and veterans were invited to attend.
The ceremony concluded with physical education teacher John Zambriski’s speech, highlighting first responders and service members and the meaning behind the flag while fifth graders read American flag facts.
