" Civil War "

 
 
We are gathered here today, to re-enact a war….

So pay close attention, you're about to learn some more!

It was over a hundred years ago, around 1865…

America was in a "civil war", she was trying to survive!

 

It was the North against the South, the blue vs. the gray…

Four years of fighting, came down to one day!

The battle of Gettysburg, and the charge of General Pickett….

It would unite our Country; it must've been the ticket!

 

It was one fateful order, given by General Lee….

The North would prevail, soon all would be free!

Folks would say later, what the heck was he thinking?

"A more perfect union formed", would say President Lincoln!

 

Today you honor those soldiers, by marching and drilling….

You practice your jodies, and remember the killing!

More Americans were lost, than all other wars combined…

We paid a heavy price, with broken dreams left behind!

 

So thank you students, both present and past…

Your actions today, are how memories last!

We stand together now, as a tribute to that day….

In the land of the free, God Bless the U.S.A!

" Flag Day "



 
 It was June 14, 1777, according to the story...
We celebrate Flag Day, to honor Ole Glory!
 
The very first flag, came courtesy of Betsy Ross...
It represents Liberty, regardless of the cost!
 
It stands for Hope, our star-spangled banner...
Respect it and Honor it, and treat it with manners!
 
Proper flag etiquette, says don't fly it at night...
But if you do, provide proper light!
 
No flag shall fly higher, & never fly it upside down...
And do all you can, so it won't touch the ground!
 
It's a symbol of freedom, the home of the brave...
The good ole Stars and Stripes, long may it wave!

"Self-Discipline"

 
 
If your behavior needs correcting, or you choose to break a rule…

You'll probably get disciplined, cuz that's not allowed in school!

 

We should expect orderly conduct, as YOU demonstrate self-control…

Then WE don't have to step in, and that should be your goal!

 

So if you practice Self-Discipline, you've taught yourself how to act….

You know how to behave, you're growing-up and learning tact!

 

Now, if the task at hand is tough, you might need to knuckle down…

You'll need to stay disciplined, so you won't lose any ground!

 

Yes, folks will be impressed, if intervention is'nt needed…

You know  rules are important, your habits have become deep-seated!

 

So, no more tantrums, and stop your whining….

We know you can do this, so step up and start shining!
