FMS Key Club member featured in NBC29 story

NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and WeatherThe work of Fishburne Military School Key Club members was highlighted in a story by NBC29 on the Kite Day event at Coyner Springs Park in Waynesboro.

“Most of the kids this morning have been excited,” said Royce Pinner, a Fishburne Military School student and Kiwanis Key Club volunteer at the event, which brought out more than 1,000 people to fly kites and also take part in activities including painting, hay rides and parachute races.

The festival also featured an American flag ceremony in the middle of the park. Participants unfolded a 1,500-foot flag while patriotic tunes played. Kids were allowed to run and play under the flag before it was rolled back up and put away.

Kids were the focus for FMS cadet Pinner.

“I love helping kids so I always make it fun, like this one girl was very excited to watch me make her kite, so it was awesome,” Pinner said.
