It is a school-wide tradition to participate in monthly events called Flag Ceremony. At these ceremonies a number of things take place. In the photo to the left, my students are shown performing the proper stance to sing the national anthem and to the right, a picture of the American flag being raised up the pole during the national anthem. As with many special events and ceremonies, our flag ceremony starts out the same with the national and local anthems. As the ceremony progresses, the administration schedules numerous announcements and activities that include and are not limited to recognition of students of the month, teacher of the month, support staff of the month, contest participants and winners, and other various announcements. This exposure to this type of ceremonies informs students of what takes place in the school and how they could possibly be informed. I see these ceremonies as a way for students to recognize different authority figures of the school and perhaps, even students.
