Connetquot High School’s campus was lined with hundreds of American flags on Nov. 9 as the school held its second annual Flags of Honor ceremony. Community members were invited to purchase a flag in honor of a veteran and to raise funds for local veterans’ charities. Through this initiative, the school raised $2,400. The funds were awarded to both Paws of War, an organization that provides veterans with service and support dogs rescued from kill shelters, and The Specialist Matthew Baylis Memorial Fund which provides scholarships to veterans or children of veterans that need financial assistance with either college tuition or the cost of trade school. The ceremony was punctuated by patriotic performances from the Connetquot High School wind ensemble , students Elizabeth Smith, Tessa Dolinger, Hailey Priemer and Samantha DeLuca who sang “God Bless America”, student Nicholas Marotta’s Veterans Day address and several recognitions for the guests of honor made by students Ashley Merz, Devin Elster and Assistant Principal Lauren Neckin.
