We wish you a safe and joyful holiday with friends and family.

Looking for an activity to learn more about our flag?  Check out this interactive page from the Smithsonian:
http://amhistory.si.edu/starspangledbanner/interactive-flag.aspx

Click on the spots to learn interesting facts about the flag that inspired the national anthem, and its recent restoration by the Smithsonian Institution.  Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and see how many stars you can collect by answering questions about the flag.  If you collect all fourteen, you receive a nice printable certificate.  Younger children may need some help.
