Members of the WBE Flag committee have been selected and recently met with the counselor, Belinda Ingram, for hands-on training on flag etiquette and folding and hoisting/lowering the American flag.
Flag Team members, Aiyana Knight and Jake Jones get instructions for Belinda Ingram on flag folding.
Duties as a Committee member include putting up and taking down the flag each day. Students in this committee are held to high standards and are expected to be positive role models by maintaining a good discipline record and always showing good character. In addition, they must carry out their duties responsibly and with dignity in order to remain on the Flag committee.
This group was very excited about their appointment to the committee. One member, Kelby Forde, stated that it made him feel “patriotic to have this honor.” Members of the 2009-10 Flag Team are front row: Jordan Lewis, Alexis Smith, Tristan Manley, Aiyana Knight, Kelby Forde. Back row: Ryan Washington, Ayline Gabino-Ventura, Miracle Rogers, Counselor, Belinda Ingram, Jake Jones, Maira Mendoza.
