Flags’ display is better late than never
Snohomish High School’s Class of 2002 donated 200 international flags to the library for display as their graduating gift.
More than two years later, the colorful additions are finally flying.
A current senior made the 3-by-5-foot flags ready for display by taking them home and ironing them one by one for community service hours, audio-visual coordinator Sam Mesman said.
When workers are done, the international flags will be arranged in a circle with a larger, U.S. flag placed prominently on a facing wall. The school’s ROTC provided information on display of the U.S. flag.
