In remembrance of 9/11, our St. Hedwig scouts came to school in their uniforms to participate in our flag ceremony at morning assembly. The color guard presented the flag, which was then raised and left at half-staff in honor of the heroes, survivors and victims.
As they do each morning as a school, the students recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Ms. Rucker spoke about sacrifice and freedom, and student council president Jake Cousino wished everyone "a patriotic day."
