North Drive Elementary School in Goldsboro, NC had a National Anthem Celebration on Thursday September 14th. The original plan was to gather outside around the flagpole in front of the school for the singing of the National Anthem, but the rainy weather caused us to move indoors. All our students (K-4) gathered in the school's Multi-Purpose room adorned in their red, white and blue clothing. Students were led in the singing of the Star Spangled Banner by Pastor Charles Franklin, a retired military man. Students also recited the Pledge of Allegiance and were given a brief history of the events that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner. The celebration was enjoyed by Parents, Administration, Staff and Students.
