It's Here!

The long awaited start of the school year!

Wait! What?

You haven't been eagerly anticipating this day for ages? When new books sit awaiting you (and there are over 50 of them already here!)?

What is in store for this year? Several things, but let's start with:


Look familiar in any way? I hope so! It's the Constitution, which begins with the Preamble. That goes as follows:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Why is this on my blog? Well, in honor of Constitution Day (September 17th), we are having a Preamble Challenge! All students who can SUCCESSFULLY recite the Preamble in front of the green screen will be able to spin the prize wheel. You only have one shot at it, I'm afraid. And don't try to sing the School House Rock version. It's incomplete. You can try your turn at the challenge from September 11-15 in the media center.

What prizes can you win? Well, the prizes are donated food cards from various businesses. These generous donors have given us over 200 total prizes for this challenge!


Start refreshing your memory of the Preamble now for your chance to win milkshakes, specialty coffees, ice cream, combo meals, hamburgers, and subs!
