Gardnerville, NV – Participants in the Gardnerville Elementary School Kids Club were recently recognized by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) for their outstanding creation of a paper American flag, earning praise for their creativity, teamwork, and patriotic spirit.

This recognition highlights the importance of providing meaningful opportunities for youth to engage in activities that foster creativity, collaboration, and civic pride. Projects like this not only encourage artistic expression but also help young participants develop a deeper appreciation for their community and country.
“We are incredibly proud of our Kids Club participants for the heart and effort they put into this project,” said Kids Club leader Lisa McGee. “It was wonderful to see their creativity recognized by an organization so deeply committed to education and patriotism. We are grateful to the local DAR chapter for supporting and celebrating our youth.”
