.FLYING THE FLAG in salute to military veterans are, from left to right, Mackenzie Wilkes, Jillian Helton and Alan Almejon. Pioneer School: Children shine at assembly for vets By KAREN EVERETT With participation from all pri- mary classes, the patriotism shown by the children was awe inspiring at the annual Veterans' Day assem- bly held at Pioneer Primary School last Friday. Students in Cheri Norman's class used American Sign Language to interpret "The Star Spangled Banner" while staff member Teri Christensen led the audience in the singing of the song. A song called "Thank You Veterans" was sung by the combined kindergarten classes of Esther Corcoran, Amy Lindsey and Jennifer Ojala. Always a big hit, the first-grad- ers taught by Marlene Bacon, Judi Enslow and Deneen Phelan honored veterans by marching to the "Armed Forces Medley." Second-graders taught by Kelly McCarty and me teamed up to recite the Preamble to the Constitution using sign lan- guage. Explaining the meaning of the Pledge of Allegience, Laurie Mc- Govern's second- and third-grade class sang the song "When I Pledge Allegience." With flags flying, the third-grade students taught by Suzanne Jack- son, Sandy Okonek and Greg Smith recited a Veterans' Day poem. Mu- sic teacher Pat Peters and her Pio- neer Primary Choir sang "A Time for Peace" and led the entire assem- bly in the singing of "My Country Tis of Thee." The playing of many patriotic songs on the piano by Barb Love thrilled the young and old at the assembly. Building Administrator Peggy Sanderson introduced the veterans in attendance. Teacher Jonathan Corcoran seITed as guest speaker this year, explaining the history of" Veterans' Day to the children and explaining to them what it means to be a veteran. Four students from Autumn Sheldon's second-grade class assisted him by reading their patriotic essays. These students are Joshua Burkett, Meghan Campbell, Haley Carlson and Kameron Sloan. The first-graders received a spe- cial treat from the American Legmn as Dave Mathews of the 40 et 8 gave each first-grader an American flag. They were so proud to have them that they held them while marching in the program. Aider the assembly, school cook Krys Morales and staff" member Joni Ryan, assisted by Pat- ty Ragsdale and Kate Mac William, hosted the veterans at a brunch in their honor. This year's assembly was dedi- cated to the memory of George Woolett, who worked as a Pioneer bus driver tbr many years. He was a veteran who passed away recently.  Weather  High Low Precip.

Continuing the Highclimber tra- dition of honoring veterans who have served our nation, SHS commemo- rated Veterans' Day with an assem- bly on Friday. Teacher Brian Faire spoke first, announcing the number of members of the U.S. armed forces who had fought in each war and the resulting number of casualties. Afterwards, students watched a slideshow of SItS teachers who had served in the military, and the SHS concert band played "Sleep," a mu- sical piece inspired by the Robert Frost poem "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening," in an effort to aid students in recognizing the dif- ficulty of perseverance in wartime. Immediately after, Larry Godwin, a veteran who would have gradu- ated t¥om SHS had he not fought in World War II, was given an honor- ary diploma and graduation ceremo- ny as a member of the class of 2007. FOLLOWING A performance by the Illusions .jazz emsemble, the band played "Armed Forces Salute," during which audience members were asked to stand if they or one of their loved ones had served in the military. That same night, band students set up the Student Union Building tbr Medieval Feast, the annual band fund-raising event celebrating all that is medieval and musical. Band students dressed up in medieval costumes and took roles as servers, kitchen hell)ers, peddlers, dancers, inusicians, actors and even arresting officers who, tbr a small sum, took designated persons to the stocks to have their pictures taken. Once the participants had finished eating their entr(!e of either chicken or pork, the SHS band closed the evening with a performance of the theme-appropri- ate musical pieces "Capriole Suite" and "Medieval Suite." SHS juniors and seniors with a grade-point average of 3.33 or high- er had the chance to be inducted into the Margaret Baldwin chapter of the National Honor Society last Thursday. After the traditional candle-lighting ceremony, which represents the upholding of charac- ter, scholarship, leadership and ser- vice, senior Honor Society member John Fosse introduced the 62 new members.
