Amana Academy

Henry has always loved the American flag. He's been curious about it, noticing it, and drawing pictures of it since he was very young. I have a feeling he comes by his pure, authentic patriotism from his long line of patriotic foremothers and forefathers. All that flag raising at West Point, at Army posts, and in front yards got into his blood somehow. ;) 

When he noticed that his beloved school, Amana Academy, had a flag, but not a "really big one," he asked if we could do something about that. So, we are raising money here to fund the installation of a large flag pole at his school.

In his words (from a letter to the American Legion): 
"I think our school needs a big American flag out front. A flag will remind us of our freedoms and it will remind us that people all around the country are part of the same community. People will know that we are a school where everyone is welcome if we have a flag out front."  

Amana is a Fulton County Public Charter school, and the cost of installing, dedicating, and maintaining a proper flag can be costly. Please help Henry to provide this gift to his school, so that the flag may enjoy honor and respect for years to come. 

We will be working in conjunction with the local VFW and the Amana Academy staff and board, who are also excited to support this project. If you'd like to learn more about Amana, check out their website here: www.amanaacademy.org. Bear in mind that any donations will be tax-deductible and you might even get a handwritten thank you note from the one and only Henry. Hooray! 

Thank you so much!  

Julia and Henry
