GRADUATION+&+PROMOTIONAL+EXERCISES



=The following are songs, the Pledge of Allegiance and our school's creed that students must memorize and recite for the June, 2013 Kindergarten Graduation and the Fifth Grade Promotional Exercises next month.=
 * Pledge of Allegiance (all) **

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation, under God, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
 * The Star-Spangled Banner (3rd grade and up) **

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed, at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died! Land of the Pilgrims’ pride, From Every Mountain side, let freedom ring!
 * AMERICA (PreK to 2) ** My country ‘tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty,


 * LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING (all) ** Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us; Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won.

**__P.S. 129 Student Creed __**
