Long Beach Middle School Team 7-1 honored the nation’s past and current heroes with a meaningful tribute that reflects connection within the district and community. Through an initiative known as the Long Beach Veterans Field of Honor, American Flag displays were installed outside each building.

The middle school’s seventh grade students and staff members assembled rows flags in front of each school as well as the administration building. The displays were unveiled in conjunction with Veterans Day and will be showcased until Pearl Harbor Day on Dec. 7.

Long Beach families sponsored the field with monetary donations, and proceeds will be given back directly to a graduating Long Beach High School Senior through the Field of Honor Scholarship.
