The large U.S. flag at the college's main entrance is an inspiring site on a flag scavenger hunt by the Dunham Children's Learning Center's "Birds" class.

The college’s Dunham Children’s Learning Center marked Sept. 11 with a Red, White and Blue Day. As part of the day’s activities, the "Birds” classroom went on a scavenger hunt across campus to see how many U.S. flags they could find.

The young learners talked about the flag, its colors, and how it meaningful it is.

On their hunt, the children found 21 flags.
