LANSING, Ill. (September 21, 2020) – The flag at St. Ann School (3014 Ridge Road, Lansing) flies constantly, and after several years of Midwest weather, the need for replacement was becoming obvious. So the St. Ann Student Council reached out to Boy Scout Troop 276 to request their help in properly retiring the old flag and raising a new one. The ceremony took place Tuesday evening, October 20, around the flagpole between the school building and the priest’s residence.
St. Ann School is located at 3014 Ridge Road in Lansing, Illinois.
Boy Scout Troop 276 typically meets at American Legion Post 697 (18255 Grant Street) on Tuesdays, 7:00–8:30pm.
