Pocket Flag Project
As a Kids in Action project, Carroll Elementary sixth graders folded 300 8x12 in. fabric flags into pocket-size flag triangles to be sent to servicemen and women. Included with each miniature flag is a card with the words, "A flag for your pocket so you can always carry a little piece of home…Thank you for defending our country and our freedom." The card lists the child's first name and last initial, along with the school name, town and state.

The folding was done Monday as part of the nationally organized Pocket Flag Project. The packets are all sent out from the PFP headquarters. They go only to active service troops overseas. CES students pictured at the table, l-r, are Siera Woodward, Jourdan Martin, and Isabella George. Sixth grade teacher Andrea O'Brien is also pictured. Miriam Robeson is the coordinator of Kids in Action, which is sponsored by the KICK Team of the Flora Community Club. Anyone who would like to suggest a troop to receive the pocket flags can contact Carroll Elementary, 574-967-4881. Comet photo by Jennifer Archibald
