Frankfort Elks Lodge # 530 recently presented classroom flags to the Frankfort Independent Schools and the Franklin County Public Schools in an effort to ensure that all classrooms in the county have an American flag that is appropriate for display. The effort is part of the activities of the lodge’s Americanism Committee, which strives to educate citizens about the flag and to raise pride and respect towards patriotism.

Pictured above, Americanism Chairman John Snyder presents 10 classroom American Flags to Frankfort Independent School superintendent Rich Crowe and Board Chairman Paul Looney at the Board’s meeting on July 26, 2012.
