This is one of the most special chapels the kids put on during their school year. What a blessing to see the kids thanking all our veterans this morning in song, poems, and Bible verses. Once again this chapel filled my heart with gratitude for those who have and are serving our country. The stage was full of veterans each able to introduce themselves-all from every branch of our armed services...such pride! My eyes were full as we stood and sang God Bless America along with our National Anthem, with the kids voices singing loud and clear. The kids filled the isles and sang the fight song for each armed service Branch. Sorry Coast Guard but the Army's fight song took top-the kids loved singing this one! The guest speaker spoke about his experience on an amphibious vehicle attacking the Japanese shore in response to Pearl Harbor. The chapel was long but the kids sat respectfully for the full two hours. I am once again so thankful for such a wonderful school filled with Christain leaders who take the time to teach my kids the importance of God along with their freedom and their Country. We are truly blessed to live in America, and are so thankful to those who have served and are serving for our Country. It was also very proud to see so many graduates serving our country. As we were walking out of the chapel I expected Andrea to start complaining about how long she had to sit, instead she looked at me and said, " that was a really REALLY good chapel!"
End of the day update....guess Brayden was not one of the kids sitting quietly during chapel, he came home with an Red Apple for playing thumb wars during chapel and bothering a girl on the playground!
The kids are all facing and singing towards the veterans on the stage.... but you can get a feel for how the chapel went.
My big kids all set out head to school for their patriotic chapel. Sometimes I can't believe how fast they are growing up.
