Providence Thanksgiving Assembly 2008

Dear PHE families,

I enjoyed our 2008 Thanksgiving Assembly and have put together short audio clips accompanied by photographs and captions. This isn't the whole program, just edited selections from it. Just press the arrows on each picture below. Feel free to send the link to grandparents!

First, the PreK - 2nd grade children sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" by Samuel Smith, and we enjoy Jack Prelutzky's humorous poem "The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven." (These classes also sang the first verse of "America the Beautiful.")

After this, the 3rd - 6th grade classes sing "For the Beauty of the Earth" by Folliott Pierpoint. (These classes also performed "Come, Ye Thankful People.")

Next, the 7th and 8th graders sing "In God We Still Trust" by Diamond Rio, and all of the students say The Pledge of Allegiance.

Finally, we pray for the Clinkscale family as they move to Massachusetts, and we end with the poem "Thanksgiving Is..."
