Dawe School Flag Day Celebration a “Yankee Doodle Dandy”

The following is a release from the Stoughton Public Schools Music Department:

The annual Flag Day Celebration was celebrated with songs and poetry readings at the Dawe Elementary School on Friday, June 14 at 1:30 in the afternoon.  

The weather miraculously cleared and the event was held outdoors by the flagpole.  

Each grade level performed several patriotic songs and read poetry.  Dawe School principal Mr. Barner also gave a lot of fun facts about the flag to the school.  

Under the direction of music teacher Mrs. D’Angelo, the entire school sang all of the traditional patriotic music such as Star Spangled Banner, America, America the Beautiful, and God Bless America.  

This celebration is a culminating activity for the study of America through song and readings.  It is a wonderful event for the whole school to participate in.  

Pictured in the media gallery is the third grade class that made their “Yankee Doodle Hats”. They also performed with their recorders and sang at the celebration.
