Frankfort Elks Lodge #530 recently presented the Franklin County Public Schools and the Frankfort Independent Schools with a new American flag for each school in their districts. Flags were also provided to Capital Day School, Frankfort Christian Academy, and Good Shepherd School.

In all, 19 flags were distributed countywide. The project was undertaken by the Lodge’s Americanism Committee, which strives to increase awareness of our nation’s history and foster patriotism.
