Today we watched democracy unfold in front of our eyes. We laid out our blankets, and opened our eyes and ears for a historical event. Our nation welcomed our 44th president to office. We listened as President Obama challenged us and our neighbors to serve others, to strive to be better, and to make hard decisions. Earlier in the day we listed to John F. Kennedy's inaugural address, and were able compare struggles of yesterday with those of today. With the first minority being elected to our highest office, it makes us wonder what will be next. Will we have a female president? How many other barriers will we break in our lifetime? I know this to be true, that each of my students could make tremendous differences in a multitude of ways if they put their mind to it.
Thank you to all the families that contributed to our picnic today. We greatly appreciate it!
