My Project

Our school is wonderful. Every year, our test scores improve, ranking amongst the top ten schools in our state. Students show they have what it takes to be successful in class and beyond. We also have a wonderful, award-winning band. They have fantastic cheer and dance teams. However, we do not have a flag team, and we haven't had one in many years.

The band and community could use the camaraderie and spirit that a color guard can provide.

Many moons ago I was a member of the Flag Team in high school! Therefore, I have the knowledge and expertise. However, I don't have all the funds to make our flag team great. Your contribution will provide flag poles, practice flags, show flags, and swing flags for color in the stands. Your benevolence will support a motivated group of students at our Advanced Studies Academy! They have already signed up for the team and started looking over the moves required to make interesting and successful performances. We need you!
