CME
CME Program Flag Our flag design was inspired by ideas shared by our staff during our last staff meeting. We wanted the design to reflect as many of their suggestions as possible, so we combined the themes and elements they felt best represented our CME Program. The final design is a collaborative effort that showcases the creativity and input of our entire team.
Bridge Crossing
Bridge Crossing Program Flag For our flag entry we made a bulletin board using chain links to symbolize both our country and our mission at both the house and the school Respectively: "Respecting and caring builds belonging and sharing." " W o r k i n g t o g e t h e r, a n d t r y i n g o u r best, helps us learn and leads to success." After the project was done we talked about the different ways this project represents all of our individual ideas and connection. Here are the quotes from the children. “We all worked together to make the paper chain, we tried our best to cut the strips in a straight line. We learned that the location of our flag was not going to work in the dining room like we planned but, we found a spot after taking it all down and that made us all feel successful because for a hot minute we were pretty mad that all of our hard work had to be taken down. But after we saw the finished bulletin board we realized we used both the school mission and the house mission because the best part of all we all felt like we belonged”
