A special assembly presented by the 4th graders of Mrs. Beigh, Mrs. Ball and Mrs. Scharett classes and the Remington select chorus was held in remembrance of Memorial Day . Through music, special stories, poems, and beautiful pictures everyone in attendance was reminded of the how, why and importance of what Memorial Day represents. One special presentation was completed by students Andrew Weiderman and Kaitlyn Dickinson. The students read Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, while the select chorus sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The words from that address especially remind us of the freedoms we have and the freedoms for which so many have provided all to protect each and everyone of us.
