Flagler Schools have “Flagship Programs,” but many may wonder what these programs are, and how they relate to the community.

These questions will be answered at the Flagship Showcase from 10 a.m. to noon, on Saturday, Feb. 20, at Buddy Taylor Middle/Wadsworth Elementary school cafeteria, 4500 Belle Terre Parkway.

Each county school will have an interactive display booth. Everyone is invited to come and learn about the programs. and how they are changing the face of learning on Flagler school campuses.

There are many learning options available for Flagler students, and this is the event to explore them all in one place.

The event also includes a bicycle rodeo conducted by the Flagler County Sheriff's Police Athletic League. Bikes will be provided, or you can bring your own.

The event is free. For more information, call Jason Wheeler, Flagler Schools community information specialist at 437-7526, ext. 2110.
