Good morning Shells! Today is Friday, December 6th, 2024.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a moment of silence.
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.
We will start this morning’s announcements with a special message:
Tomorrow, December 7, is "National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day." The attack on Pearl Harbor was a pivotal moment in American history that led the country into World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt called the day "a date which will live in infamy". Sixteen million of America's sons and daughters served during World War II, and more than 400,000 paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of life and liberty. Please join me in today’s moment of silence and turn our thoughts to honor the memory of those who died in the attack
Seniors, vote for your 2025 senior superlatives! Voting ends today!
