MISD celebrates Memorial Day with flags

Magnolia Elementary and Williams Elementary students began collecting money to purchase American flags for Memorial Day this spring. They were able to purchase more than 1,000 flags with the collected donations. Students from both campuses competed to win a chance to deliver the flags to the Houston Veterans Administration Cemetery by writing an essay about “Their Military Hero.” On Memorial Day, May 30, the students placed the 1,000 flags amongst the memorials at the cemetery.
