NEVER FORGET . . . 9-11

The students this year were less than a year old

when our world changed forever.

It's hard to forget the look on President Bush's face

when he received the news...as he was reading to a school class in Florida.

 Two hijacked planes, flown by terrorists who had taken over the planes, crashed them into the World Trade Center Towers...the tallest buildings in the U.S.

Other terrorist planes struck the Pentagon in
Washington D.C. and another plane, 
that was heading for the White House, was
brought down in a Pennsylvania field by the
passengers on board.

Many heroes emerged from the tragedy.

President Bush rallied the rescue workers.

Firemen raise the American flag.

CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST!

It finally happened!

Christmas has come in August!

After 27 years...our classroom got BRAND NEW

desks and chairs! 

It's not that the old desks didn't match, or there were

six different colors and sizes of chairs...the desks were

literally falling apart! 

The new desks and chairs wait to be assembled.

 Two desks per box.

These desks had to be put together...but they were excited to go to their new home!

 The shiny, shiny desks are all ready to go!

 Cleaning out old desks.

Last look at the old desks.

Many great students had their  5th grade career at these desks...doctors,
nurses, engineers, lawyers, teachers, businessmen, etc.

 Here come the new comfy chairs!

Mr. Francis likes the system we have down!

So happy to have these new additions to our classroom!
