Constitution Video

I got to star in several music videos created by the students of Arrowhead Elementary to learn about the Constitution. This video was done by a 4th grade class using a song written by Dr. Lodge McCammon and downloaded from Discovery Education. See if you can find me.

10th Anniversary of September 11th

Lower Providence Heroes

Me Placing my flower on the Memorial

Today was a very solemn day. Mrs. Conger brought me to Lower Providence Township’s Memorial Ceremony for the 10^th Anniversary of the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001. A bell was tolled at the exact time each plane crashed that day and there were speeches of those that were at each place. Like the other people there I placed a white carnation on the memorial. The new monument shows the Twin Towers, it is shaped like the Pentagon, and the water feature has 40 steps to commemorate the 40 people who were on the plane that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. I also got my picture taken with Lower Providence’s finest! Policeman and Firemen are heroes. They are also patriots!

Patriot Day at Arrowhead

Arrowhead Principal Mr. Aaron Roberts 

Friday was an interesting day at Arrowhead Elementary School. The students were all dressed in red, white, and blue for Patriot Day. I was very excited because I am Patriot Pete after all! In honor of Patriot Day, which remembers those lost in the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001, Arrowhead Students had a little ceremony around the flagpole and I was included. I wore the blanket from my backpack because it is very patriotic and has a flag on it! Mrs. Conger the school librarian also gave me an American Flag to hold. We said the Pledge of Allegiance, sang America the Beautiful and then the kids sang the Arrowhead School Song. I didn’t feel so bad that I didn’t know it because their new principal, Mr. Roberts, didn’t know it either. It is a really cool song. It talks about teaching truth and honor every step of the way. I like that. The picture is of me, Mr. Roberts, and some students at the ceremony.

I also learned the proper care of a library book during Mrs. Conger’s library classes. The rules are: always use a bookmark (and Mrs. Conger gave me a bookmark to put in my backpack), don’t eat or drink around a library book, always have clean hands, don’t take library books outside, don’t let them near pets or babies, don’t take them out on the school bus, keep them in a safe place (like your backpack), and return books on time so you can get another library book! I am learning a lot at Arrowhead! Can’t wait to be in the videos the students are making next week to celebrate Constitution Day!
