As the morning chill gripped the air, we gathered together to start our day with a shared commitment to service and community. The day began with the Pledge of Allegiance, a reminder of our unity and values as a nation. Following this, we recited the Four-Way Test, reaffirming our dedication to truth, fairness, goodwill, and building friendships.

 

Safire surprised us this morning with cupcakes + and handmade thank-you notes.  
She expressed her thanks for supporting her Eagle Scout project, especially to those who attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.  A timeline slide show was presented:
