9/11

Red Mountain Elementary has one of the neatest 9/11 traditions.  Each year to commemorate and remember 9/11 everyone wears red, white or blue and the parents walk their kids to school.

Sadie, Gentry, Halle and I rode our bikes!
As we arrive to their school, the American Legion is there to raise the flag, lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star Spangled Banner and to shoot off their guns. It is always such a moving experience. This year the students also got an extra treat....
To be in their own 1st annual Red Mountain Elementary Parade. At the end of the last school year Mrs. Barnum told them that if they did well at the end of level testing they could have a parade and they did awesome.
The city closed the road and the round about as the entire school paraded up and down the street, complete with police escort.
Here comes 4th grade!
Yeah Sadie!
And then 1st grade!
Hi Gentry!
It was so cute and the kids loved it.  Way to go Red Mountain Elementary!
