This week we started our unit on Thanksgiving.
We began talking about the Native Americans
who lived here and about their culture. (Pictures next week)
We will continue to discuss this unit next week as we learn about
the Pilgrims and their journey to America.
This week's blog is dedicated to the men and women who
served in the military to help preserve our great nation.
Our Veterans Day program during chapel on Friday
was very moving and top notch.
New Song sang "American Tears" and did an awesome job.
Some of our PDS boy scouts presented the colors.
Mrs. Burd talked about Veterans Day and why we should honor our veterans.
Mr. Lamar Taylor was our guest speaker. He is the father of Bradley Taylor
who served in Afganistan. You could tell he is very proud of his son and
we are very thankful that he came and shared his story.
New Song sang a medley of the Armed Services Songs. As each branch was acknowledged, we
could stand in honor or in memory of a veteran.
At the end of the program, we took pictures of all the veterans and their
grand or great grandchildren. PDS is extremely proud of our veterans.
Thank you for your service.
One Nation Under God we live
Think about all some had to give
We the people share freedom’s life
In a world of ever present strife
Be grateful to those who keep this true
Warriors of our red, white, and blue
They're trained by those of great skill
Honed to perform, so strong their will
They show what love is all about
They’ll fight for us, there is no doubt
Defending bravely what we are
No holding back each heartfelt star
Highly praise these men and women
Giving thanks time and again
Those in uniform will always be
The golden pride of this country |
