The students of Sippican School celebrated Flag Day with members of the American Legion Florence Eastman Post 280.
The kids, in grades one through three, recited poems and sang patriotic songs.
The yearly tradition means a lot to students, said Principal Rose Bowman. "It lives in their hearts forever."
During the ceremony, Bowman asked the kids to remember those who served the country and those who are currently serving.
"Think about everyone who has lost their lives to protect our freedom," she said.
