State Rep. Kenneth Sheets, the freshman legislator now representing House District 107, Friday made an impression on a community kindergarten class.

Sheets learned of a parent’s concern about a worn Texas flag flying at Lakewood Elementary School.

He appropriated — that’s legislative talk — a flag that once flew over the state Capitol and prepared an accompanying certificate.

Sheets then paid a surprise visit to the school and presented the flag to a kindergarten class and its teacher.

Timely, too, given Texas Independence Day occurs Wednesday.
