The entire student body at Oswayo Valley Elem. School, Shinglehouse, PA, participated in a National Anthem Assembly on September 14 in our gym. We were planning on gathering outside around the flagpole (like we did the previous year), but the the weather did not cooperate. The students and faculty dressed in red, white and blue. Fifth grade students presented information about the SSB's history, the pledge of allegiance was done, and we ended with the singing of our national anthem. I presented every student with a "keepsake" from this special day -- the typed words to the SSB mounted on red and blue cardstock, decorated with patriotic stickers (I'm a scrapbooker). The assembly only lasted about 15 minutes, but everyone enjoyed it!!!
