Joseph Elementary School grades K-3 present patriotic recital
By Ellen Morris Bishop
Wallowa County Chieftain
About
80
nervous,
brightly-attired
children
alternately wiggled and gig-
gled on the small grand-
stand set up in front of fam-
ily members and friends in
the Joseph Charter School
gymnasium Wednesday eve-
ning. But when the Eagle
Cap Post 4307 VFW Color
Guard presented the flag,
a hush prevailed. Then 80
young voices burst into
song, beginning with The
Star Spangled Banner.
The special program,
titled American Essentials,
featured familiar ballads
and patriotic songs, includ-
ing America the Beautiful,
Yankee Doodle, and Bat-
tle Hymn of the Republic.
It provided a post-Memori-
al-Day tribute to America’s
warriors, history, and val-
ues. Third graders took turns
to read the entire Declara-
tion of Independence to the
audience. The performance
ended with a moving perfor-
mance of Taps.
Joseph Charter School
Music Director Michelle
Homan organized the event,
following a program called
American Essentials devel-
oped by Teresa and Paul
Jennings and John Riggio.
