Proud To Be American Day

This was Bryce's school's 42nd year to have 'Proud To Be American Day'. All of the grades make matching shirts and at first there is a program. It involves some speakers, a flag raising, awards to some of the 5th graders, and other patriotic activities. After the ceremony is over, the whole elementary school does a 30 minute 'parade' around the subdivision that is by the school. They make signs and put them everywhere and all carry little flags. It is just a really neat day- it's hard to explain. Dylan and Cayden enjoyed it also!


Here they are raising the flag. Afterwards, everyone recites the Plegde of Allegiance, Pledge to the Texas flag, and a high school student did an excellent job of a solo Star Spangled Banner.

This is the shirt they all made. It's a butterfly- the wings are their hand prints and the body is their foot print. The teachers all had shirts with little butterflies made from each child's fingerprint.


This is the 1st grade banner that they take turns carrying in the parade. (Bryce is on the right side)
