Hello my Omschooligans! Teacher Omi is thankful for many things on this Memorial Day. I'm grateful for my family members who have passed and the legacy they left me. I'm also grateful for new generations of family members as we celebrate the 11th birthday of the first two boys to call me Omi, Moses and Silas! I'm also thankful for my Omschooligans (you) who visit and follow this website!

There is no more enduring symbol of a nation that the national flag. It's a thumbnail, an icon for a country. The flag symbolizes pride and rallies people.

💡 Omi Pro Tip!
Make it reusable! Laminate your flag coloring pages so they can be colored, wiped clean, and used again and again.
Don't have a laminator? No problem! Just slide the page into a clear zippered plastic bag or wrap it tightly in cling film for an instant, erasable dry-erase surface.
