Hicksville Teachers Perform For Flag Day

Students across the Hicksville Public School District celebrated Flag Day on June 14 by participating in a variety of activities designed to teach them about the importance of respecting the American flag and the significance of its colors, stars and stripes.

At Lee Avenue Elementary School, Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino visited students and spoke to them about the history of the flag. He offered students the opportunity to ask him questions about his own experiences, and distributed informative brochures about the American emblem.

At Burns Avenue Elementary School, students gathered for an assembly that featured a question-and-answer session among students about the flag and kindergartners sang patriotic songs. Students were then treated to dance performances by teachers who had also participated in the districtwide Talent for Troops event in April.
