  • First Grade just completed a unit on American Symbols.  They learned that saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag is a way in which Americans show respect and honor for their country.  Every morning they salute the American Flag, the Christian Flag and the Bible.  These symbols reflect their love for God and country.  They also get to begin each day with the Lord’s Prayer.  What a great way to begin their day!  It’s a Great Day to be a Raider!
