On Monday, Thomas Jefferson Elementary held an assembly to celebrate Veteran's Day. The students spent the last four weeks learning all of the service hymns for each branch of the military. They also learned the "Pledge of Allegiance" (which we say every day), "This Land is Your Land," and "The Star Spangled Banner." Students were invited to bring in photos of loved ones who serve or have served in the military. The kids did an outstanding job!
Veterans were invited to come to the celebration and the turn out was wonderful! The students said the "Pledge of Allegiance" and sang the service hymns, a song they learned in Music, "This Land is Your Land," and "The Star Spangled Banner." Veterans were invited to stand during their service hymn. The ceremony was very touching and I couldn't have been more proud of the kids!
