Area fourth graders know more about the importance of the American flag thanks to American Legion Post 36 of Rochester. Students from Riddle, Caston, Akron and Mentone elementary schools participated in the Legion’s annual flag education program. The Legion presented information to the schools, with all fourth graders taking a test with multiple choice questions about who created the American flag, the elements of it and how it should be displayed. Kids also answered the essay question: “What do you think about when you see our country’s flag?” The Legion graded the tests, with one boy and girl being chosen from each school who’d answered all the questions correctly and had the best response to the essay question. Each kid got $50, a small American flag and candy. Winners included: Carson Tyra and Cecelia Boldry from Caston; Noah Farley and Emma Egolf from Mentone; and Gauge Groninger and Emily Sloan from Akron. Riddle’s winners will be announced at a later date. The kids’ tests will next go on the state level to be judged. Helping with the program were Legion members Monica Clennon and Ray Boardman. Boardman noted he was “impressed with the fourth graders’ understanding of the flag and their interesting questions they ask us.” “I look forward to doing it again next year,” he said. Clennon, who’s helped with the program for 15 years, noted the importance of continuing flag education.

resents for all Americans and all freedoms,” she said. “It’s just important for the kids to know how
much this country is the best one there is, not perfect by any stretch, but it’s the best one on earth.”
