Just like each country has a flag, so does each class at Newbridge Road Elementary School. Students learned how a flag is a symbol that represents a group of people, so every class then created one as a community-building activity.  

Children brainstormed ideas for their class flag, and discussed how the words, colors and images they chose would reflect their shared values. After working together to make it, each class then got to present its flag at the October spirit assembly. The flags now adorn the hallways near each classroom.  

Principal Amanda Licci said that the project, which has become an annual tradition, is very meaningful for students as they take ownership of their flag’s creation. In addition to increasing their understanding of citizenship, it strengthens their ability to communicate and collaborate.
