‘Stars, Stripes’ to be featured
LARNED — The public is invited to attend Museum Night — “Stars and Stripes Forever,” scheduled Monday, May 6 from 6-8 p.m. at Larned Middle School.
Grade five through eight students will showcase hallway displays that explore the branches of United States government and Kansas government.
As you enter Larned Middle School, Museum Night will begin in the fifth-grade hallway, where you will find live patriotic displays of the legislative branch of government. Next, you will enter the judicial branch of government.
The sixth-grade classes will be portraying the history of the Supreme Court, and the nine Supreme Court justices. As you leave the judicial branch, you will then experience the executive branch. This area will be presented by the seventh- grade. You will feel like you are visiting the White House.
We cannot forget the ways of Kansas. The eighth-graders will display phases of Kansas government, and hardships that the state has conquered like the “Dust Bowl.”
The gym area will feature a Wall of Honor remembering people who have served in the military branches. A flag folding demonstration is scheduled along with a tribute to Unknown Soldier.
Larned Middle School is requesting visitors bring a canned food item, or a free-will donation that will benefit the local food bank.
