On Monday morning, our students, faculty, and staff gathered outside for our annual flag raising ceremony in front of the school.

We began with a detailed explanation of the American flag, how it came to be, and what each of the colors, stripes, and stars represent. 

We then pledged the flag and sang “God Bless America” together. 

We next explained the significance and design of the Florida State flag

Enjoy the photos below!

“God Bless America”

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that’s free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

God Bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God Bless America, My home sweet home
God Bless America, My home sweet home.
