Norwood Students Honor the Flag

Norwood Elementary School Principal Michael Genovese and students welcomed the American Legion Post 1244 Flag Collection Box to kick off the tour of the Old Glory Box through the six grade schools of the Northport School District. Julie Labuskes, a parent, arranged the tour with Post 1244 2nd Vice Commander Dennis Giunta, coordinator of the flag collection box.

The Old Glory box collects worn, frayed, and soiled flags to be disposed of in a proper ceremony near Flag Day with the cooperation of the Boy Scout Troop 32 and the Greenlawn Fire Department.

More than 500 have been collected this year so far.
