In this assembly, we will hold a flag bearing ceremony where students and teachers carry flags that represent their cultural backgrounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are looking for students to sign up to be flagbearers for the ceremony. For this, you need to be dressed in clothes that represent your culture and carry the flag in the procession. If you are interested in being selected to do this, please complete this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScjrvl69fIZtq_uFRlOHsyXoSlR_AGOkHJlNyFP0J22SggtRw\/viewform?usp=dialog\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FORM<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
