The Blaine County Journal News-Opinion - We've Got The County Covered

Meadowlark Elementary first graders are pictured with their American flags given out on the recent Presidents Day by the Chinook Lions Club. No one is really sure when the flag giveaway began but senior club members think the tradition began at least 40+ years ago. First graders at some surrounding rural schools also receive the flags from the Chinook club. Bridgette Brennan, left of students in the photo, and Tammy Edwards, not pictured and still recovering from an illness, are the first grade teachers this year. Lion Sam French presented flag information to the students and Lions Jay Eslick and Jack Mattingly also helped with the annual program.
