Some of our fifth-grade students got a lesson on the American and North Carolinian flags on Friday morning when a former JROTC member held a flag training session. Our fifth-grade teachers decided to start giving fifth-grade students more responsibilities, and one of those is to be in charge of raising and lowering the flag each day. These students received a lesson in how to fold the flag, raise and lower it, and what things on it represent. We are very proud of all our fifth-grade leaders at North Newton. It's a great day to be a bulldog!! #nextlevel #NNESBulldogs #groundedandgrowing
