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.

Highclimber Happenings:
Honors bestowed on stu
By KELSY HOPKINS
l,ast week, some students at Shel-
ton ttigh prepared fbr the Veterans'
Day assembly while some simulta-
neously made plans ibr Medieval
Feast, Honor Society installation,
and a Knowledge Bowl competition.
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. The 71 senior members
inducted as juniors in 2006 include
president Paige Barrett
members Will Trondsen,
