A symbol stands for things like thoughts, commands, or feelings. People run across symbols every day of their lives. A street sign with people walking in a crosswalk means a school crossing. Some symbols are made through body movements instead of being written down. Schools and various organizations have special symbols of their own.
Some schools have school colors or a school song.
When these colors are worn or the song is sung people think of the school. Some athletic teams have symbols, such as the K State Wildcat or the KU Jayhawk. When people see these symbols on shirts, banners, and signs they think of that team. To exchange or pass along feelings, thoughts, or information. Examples include speaking or writing.
