This week at Conall's school is "Me and My Country" and today was Constitution Day. His class is going to write a Classroom Constitution and post it.
This morning, they had a Freedom Parade. The kids decorated plain white t-shirts and made paper hats. The parade started with the raising of the flag and the Pledge of Allegiance. The pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes marched around the school to patriotic music with flags, banners, paper torches, and streamers.
Here are some photos. I'll post videos later.

Hanging out with his friendsUPDATE 3:40 p.m.: For those of you in the area, Channel 7 was at the parade with their cameras rolling, so there is a chance that it will be on the news tonight.
Update 9/17 : We missed the 5 p.m. news and half of the 6 p.m. news, but Channel 7 did show the parade at the very end of the 10 p.m. news yesterday. I can't seem to find it on their Web page, but if I do, I'll put a link here.

It looks like you had a good time at the parade. I like your hat and your tee shirt. That reminds me; do you remember the goat that tried to eat your tee shirt at the fair last year? Wasn't that funny!
