Flag Ceremony
LMS fifth grade held a flag ceremony on December 16th to present the new City of Liberty flag. The fifth grade students had previously participated in a contest to write a pledge for the new Liberty flag. Fifth grader, Logan Rich’s pledge was selected as the winning pledge.
During the ceremony the new City of Liberty flag was presented to LMS by Liberty Mayor, Brian Deese. Additionally, a United States of America flag was presented to LMS teacher and coach Robert (Bob) Davis. This flag was given to the school by SC Representative Gresham Barrett to honor Davis for over 30 years of military service.
In addition to Mayor Deese, other special guests included SDPC Superintendent, Dr. Henry Hunt, and SDPC School Board Member, Mr. Oscar Thorsland. Logan Rich led the Pledge to the City of Liberty flag for the closing of the ceremony.
