Northfield�s flag flies at Statehouse
By DAVID RAINVILLE Last modified: 5/21/2014

Local sixthgraders travelled to the Statehouse to see their town�s new flag unfurled. The annual field trip to Boston took on a special meaning, as the Northfield flag was inducted into the state�s Hall of Flags Tuesday.

The flag has its roots in a similar trip. �In 2009, the sixth-grade class visited the Statehouse and they noticed there wasn�t a flag for Northfield,� recalled Principal Thomas King. Those students helped to change that. After the trip, teacher Jay Loubris invited former Selectboard member Kathleen Wright to speak to the sixth-graders, and she challenged them each to come up with a design for the town�s flag.

�They were all so good, we couldn�t pick just one,� said King. So, they brought in artists Linda Jacque and Barbara Lamoine, and Jacque�s son, Cam Gribko, and they incorporated elements of several flags into one design. That flag, and a similar town seal, were adopted by voters at the 2013 annual town meeting.
