Patriots’ Day at St. Marys

St. Mary of the Assumption School 6th grade students; Rayana Thatcher, Ezra Friesner, and Nathan Bidlack, prepare the flags for raising on Patriots’ Day. As part of honoring those who lost their lives in the attacks on the morning of 9-11, the students raised the flag to full staff and then lowered it to fly in remembrance at half-staff.
