Wantagh Elementary celebrated Flag Day with their student-studded signature flash mob choreographed dance to Proud to be an American, Miley Cyrus’ Party in the USA, and Katy Perry’s Fireworks turning the front lawn of the school red, white, and blue, as family and friends looked on.

Just after the audience recited the Pledge of Allegiance, Taps was played by three band students who did an amazing job. The second grade chorus, adorned in custom made flag t-shirts, sang special patriotic songs for the audience, including God Bless America and the States Song also known as Fifty Nifty United States.
