Patriotism flourishes at Sterling-Rock Falls Child Care

Kids excitedly file out of the building Friday, July 1, 2022 on their way to wave at the passing traffic.

STERLING – Children and faculty at Sterling-Rock Falls Child Care showed their pride for Independence Day by dressing in red, white and blue and waving to passing cars outside the facility Friday. At one time, the students took part in a parade, but the tradition changed in 2020 to a fence-line wave because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
