Why did Marion Street students go red, white, and blue?

Posted

Marion Street Elementary School in the Lynbrook Public School district invited families on May 25 to welcome the Memorial Day weekend with patriotic songs.

Second graders were flanked by red, white and blue-themed artwork as they gathered to sing seven songs that celebrated American pride.

Family members and loved ones were given the lyrics of each song so they could sing along to songs that included “America, The Beautiful,” “You’re a Grand Old Flag” and “Yankee Doodle.” Students stepped up to introduce each song, which were performed under the direction of music teacher Anna Upston.
