Woodhull School third and fourth grade students added a creative touch to the celebration of Flag Day by painting seashells with red, white and blue designs. The colorful creations brighten the front of the school, proudly honoring the flag and the values it represents, thanks to the PreK and kindergarten students who carefully placed them on the front walkway.  

On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress officially adopted the United States flag. Though not a federal holiday, Flag Day was formally proclaimed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 and is traditionally recognized each year through patriotic displays and observances. 

These painted shells are just one way the students help turn tradition into something beautiful and lasting.
