Nov 23, 2024

LAKEVILLE — Middle school students of Mullein Hill Christian Academy in Lakeville recently learned about the 13 folds of the American flag in preparation of Veterans Day.  

We were blessed to have four middle school students present the 13 folds of the flag on Friday afternoon to grades 5-8,’’ Principal Barbara Priestly said.

She noted that the students “heard about not only the defense of our country and the pursuit of peace, but the mothers and fathers that raised up defenders of our nation and how our faith is so deeply woven into this flag ceremony. The final fold ‘In God we trust’ reminds us of the importance of faith in our American heritage."
