Bellefontaine resident Emma Krock, dressed as a clown, Hope, reads patriotic stories about the history and significance of the U.S. flag to Bellefontaine Elementary School summer school second-graders Tuesday in Phil Forsythe’s classroom in celebration of Flag Day. The retired pediatric nurse practitioner said librarians at the Logan County Libraries assisted with her book selections, including F is for Flag by Wendy Lewison, I pledge allegiance by Bill Martin and Michael Sampson and The Flag We Love by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Mrs. Krock said in addition to working with children, she also visits area nursing homes and other community events as “Hope” to spread cheer. (EXAMINER PHOTO | MANDY LOEHR)
