Goodman - Armstrong Creek School District was honored to be presented a United States Flag for our work in embracing Americanism and promoting Patriotism. The American flag is always flying in front of the school and the pledge of allegiance is said by all the students at the beginning of every school day and before all sporting events. Pictured is Barbara Squires, Senior Vice President, VFWA #7444, as she presents the flag to Jason Slawinski, science teacher and Iraq war veteran, and Amy Wysocki, Superintendent, whose grandfathers both served in the Navy during WWII.
