ESD is proud to celebrate Flag Day by reflecting on the values and history that our flag represents. As a daily practice, students and staff recite the Pledge of Allegiance reaffirming our commitment to the principles the American flag represents:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
On Flag Day and during National Flag Week, we honor all that the flag means to the American people. No matter how dark the night, Americans will always pursue our Nation’s North Star — our flag will always be there.
Happy Flag Day!
