In a short 2 months we move into the 3 month period of time that I like to refer to as "The Patriotic Season". It encompasses the national holidays of Memorial Day (May 30th), July 4th, and Labor Day.
Wouldn't it be really neat if everyone decorated in a patriotic theme of red, white and blue during this time period? Fly Old Glory, plant some red and/or white petunias, carnations, blue plumbago . . . hand a red/white/blye twirler or star from your from your eaves or on your gate . . . anything to show patriotism and holiday spirit. it doesn't have to cost much at all. Decorations are very inexpensive at dollar stores or Big Lots . . . lights come in solar and LED now so they don't cost much to run or much for initial purchase.
And lets get these decoratons up before school is out, so the students can learn to appreciate both the sights of patriotism and a sense of community. It'll make for better citizens down the road!
