The second Kiwanis After Hours was held on July 22 nd at the Chaddy Shack. Members, new members and guests enjoyed a delicious shrimp dinner and visiting with each other.

Winn Parish School Superintendent Steve Bartlett spoke to the club. He has given his life to education and is passionate about it. He has been in the education arena for 45 years the last 19 being Superintendent of Schools. It is very unusual to have that long a tenure as Superintendent of Schools, only one other district in state has had a superintendent for that long. Mr. Bartlett said he takes his job very seriously. He appreciates the support that the Kiwanis club gives to education.

Education is alive and well in Winn Parish. There are no failing schools, no D or F schools in the parish. All of our schools are rated A, B, or C. We have outstanding students one of which scored 35 on the ACT. Most students score in the high 20s and low 30s on the ACT.

The United States Flag is the third oldest of the National Standards of the world; older than the Union Jack of Britain or the Tricolor of France.

The flag was first authorized by Congress June 14, 1777. This date is now observed as Flag Day throughout America.

The flag was first flown from Fort Stanwix, on the site of the present city of Rome, New York, on August 3, 1777. It was first under fire for three days later in the Battle of Oriskany, August 6, 1777.

It was first decreed that there should be a star and a stripe for each state, making thirteen of both; for the states at the time had just been erected from the original thirteen colonies.

The colors of the Flag may be thus explained: The red is for valor, zeal and fervency; the white for hope purity, cleanliness of life, and rectitude of conduct; the blue, the color of heaven, for reverence to God, loyalty, sincerity, justice and truth.

The Winn Parish School Board met for their monthly meeting on June 3, 2019. The meeting was called to order, with an invocation and pledge to follow. The meeting then pressed towards the first order of business, which included an insurance proposal from Brown and Brown Insurance.
