Yesterday was the kids' patriotic Program at school. The whole school opened with a song called "You're a Hero." And the rest of the program focused on heroes throughout American history. So fun! Michael and the kindergarten sang "Yankee Doodle" in honor of George Washington. Mike was so cute and did a great job!
Marching like a little army.
"Stuck a feather in his hat"
"And called it macaroni"
"There was Captain Washington"
Jazz hands for the big finish
Nathan and the second grade sang three verses of the Star Spangled Banner in honor of Francis Scott Key. Nathan was disappointed that he isn't a Scout yet and couldn't be in the blue part of the flag, but he sange out and it was so great to watch him sing.
No cute choreography, but it was pretty powerful listening to these seven and eight year olds sing about our nation as a "heav'n rescued land" and being preserved by God.
"In God is our Trust" Nathan sang out!
Liz and the 3rd grade sang a Native American song called "Land of the Silver Birch" It was a beautiful song and it was fun to see them all dressed up and singing together. 
LIz is such a pretty girl and she was so graceful as she sang and did the actions to the song. It was a joy to watch her!
"Silent and Still"
The sixth grade sang a medley of the anthems of the different branches of the military. As they sang audience members who served in the branches were invited to stand. What a neat way to honor the men and women who have served our country. The program ended with the entire school singing "American Heroes" while a slide show honored friends and family members of teachers and students who serve or have served in branches of the military or as police and firemen. What an amazing way to show gratitude for these incredibly people who bless our lives.
