World Flag ambassador Sarah G. delivered the Flag to Ms. Taylor's first-grade classroom at Scott Montgomery Elem. in Washington, DC. Ms. Taylor is an educator for Teach for America.
"After unveiling The World Flag, students learned about the history of the US Flag, identified flags of the world, and named the seven continents. The students created their own countries, and designed flags to represent their imaginary lands. The Flag project culminated in students describing the national language, food, animal, and geography of their country. They even created a national dance, which they demonstrated to the rest of the class.
Over the last year, Scott Montgomery school in Washington D.C.has experienced external gang activity on and around the school property, including graffiti on school buildings, drug dealing, as well as the stashing of firearms on the grounds. While the school has taken measures to ensure the safety of students, these children still face many challenges outside the protection of the school's walls. The World Flag's message of peace and unity couldn't have come to a better place."
