Inauguration Day - January 20, 2009

 

 

The entire school gathered together for the historical inauguration of Barack Obama. Every classroom discussed and answered the question, How can we help our country shine with President Obama? Two representatives from each class shared their answer with the school. The children were also able to view parts of the inauguration. They learned the meaning of the words inauguration, oath and citizenship. We joined together in song as we sang “What One Little Person Can Do”. Mrs. Munisteri asked the students to think about what they could do to help our school, community and country.

     

We pledge to help our country shine by...

 

... giving a smile to everyone.

 

... recycling and planting trees.

 

... using less of our natural resources therefore creating less pollution.

 

The children held their lights up high while singing the song titled "This Little Light of Mine".

 

Joseph Biden takes the oath of office for Vice President of the United States of America.

 

Barack Obama takes the oath of office for the President of the United States of America. 

 

 

The student's watched an online video of famous people making their pledge of spirit for patriotism and responsibility to pitch in and work harder not only for themselves but for everyone.

 

The children listened to the actors pledging to help end hunger in America, to smile more, to laugh more, to love more, to volunteer more time for children battling serious illnesses, and many more pledges. 
What do you pledge?

The video ended with:
Together we can, together we are, and together we will be the change that we seek.

 

All the classes participated by making a pledge to help their country shine.

Every class displayed their pledge on the bulletin board outside the Main office.
