City School is celebrating Veterans Day with a ceremony on November 12, 2012 in Taylor Park. This letter is to inform and invite you to join your child in honoring our nation's veterans in a brief ceremony.
We are going to leave the school at 9:15 and walk to the park for the ceremony starting at 10:00. You are invited to walk with us. We will be back at the school by 11:30 in time for lunch. If you have any concerns please contact your child’s teacher.
Every student will be bringing home a ribbon. We ask that you support your child in writing the names of veterans close to your family, on the ribbon. Your child will then wear the ribbon to the ceremony to honor the veterans. We would encourage you to access our daily announcements to go over the book about veterans and sing the song “This Land is Your Land”. The song will be sung during the ceremony and we would like all students to feel comfortable singing.
Thank You,
Veterans Day Committee St. Albans City School.
News from Team Triumph
On election day, Team Triumph held a debate. After learning how our president gets elected, students were unsure if using the electoral college was the best way. A group of sixth graders researched the merits of the electoral college and the merits of using popular vote. After a few days of preparation, they discussed the topic in a formal debate setting. Students had points ranging from benefits for minorities, to faithless electors, to disproportionate advantages
Band Announcement
There will be no band lessons today, but Tuesday will be a normal day. There will be beginning violin and cello lessons after school today for 4th grade students.
