June 14 is FLAG DAY!\"images-2\"<\/p>\n

Flying the American flag is more popular than ever. It is a symbol of the country’s values and traditions. Do you know what the stars and stripes mean?\u00a0 \u00a0Its 13 red and white stripes represent the original colonies and the 50 stars stand for the states. You might also want to use this day to teach the children about your own flag.\u00a0 You can find a print out of the American flag and flags of many other countries in the Kids Culture Corner http:\/\/aupairinamerica.com\/resources\/kids\/culture_corner\/<\/a><\/p>\n

In honor of Flag Day, Global Awareness sponsored a Flag Day Contest in which au pairs were asked to submit their creative interpretations of their flags.\u00a0 The photos and descriptions are posted on the GA website www.globalawareness.com<\/a> Please take a peek-you’ll see cultural exchange in action and, I’m sure, feel a special pride in working with these young women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
