I Pledge Allegiance To The Flag

My daughter, Emma, and the rest of the Student Council at Meadowview Elementary, were invited to the School Board meeting last night to lead the group in the pledge of allegiance. Not everyone could make it. They were asked to wear spiritwear or red to represent the school color. Clinton took Emma to the meeting, but didn't take a picture of her actually doing the pledge, because he would have gotten her side or back, plus he probably thought it would be disrespectful to be taking a picture and not participating in the pledge, too.

Emma ran for Student Council previously this year, but she didn't make it. She was in Ms. Wright's class, one of the two third grade classes. The day of my due date, October 20th, I was informed that the third grade classes had enough kids to split and make a third class. Emma was going to be transferred into the new classroom with the new teacher, Ms. Brackett. One of the two Student Council representatives from Emma's class was staying in Ms. Wright's class and one was moving over to Ms. Brackett's class. This gave Emma another chance to run for Student Council. She and Lexi McMillin ran for the position and Emma was elected. She and Rylan Gaspar are the classroom representatives.

Emma loves it. She is social, outgoing, and eager to help. She and the other Student Council representatives helped out during Grandparent's Day at school. For those grandparents that didn't know where to go, she and others would lead them to the correct classroom. She has participated in Candy Cane sales at school, which help raise money for a worthy cause, and she will be participating in Lollipop sales soon, too, for the same cause. I know she's loved all these opportunities and being able to help lead the pledge, too. Emma is greatly looking forward to continuing to help in other ways throughout the year. Way to go, Emma! I'm proud of you!
