Picture Perfect!
Two more schools in Oklahoma are very proud of their George Washington Portraits. Lawton’s Sullivan Village gathered around the painting for this picture and then their counselor (a friend of mine and an A+ Fellow), Brenda Walker, sent it to me. The other photograph is of George Washington Elementary in Miami, Oklahoma. When they received their artwork of the first president, they had a special ceremony. The students of the elementary school all gathered around the flagpole and they hoisted the flag (that accompanied the portrait) above their school. The flag had flown above Mount Vernon, so it is a very special flag. They proudly display Washington’s painting in a prominent place in the office. In fact, it is the first thing people see when they walk in Washington Elementary.
