Today we have been hosting a celebration of America as we honor Patriot's Day here at OCS. Students and staff have all been decked out in their Red, White and Blue colors and have been talking about America and -- in age appropriate settings -- September 11, 2001. In honor of those Americans who perished in the acts of terrorism eleven years ago, and for all of our fallen American Heroes, we are flying the flag at half mast. This morning we started our day with a brief announcement about the importance of the day and a moment of silence. This sparked a number of conversations in classrooms with some of our younger studnets about why we would have a moment of silence... leading to more discussion! My plan worked!
Till next time...
