While out cycling this morning, I came to a stop while passing Fletcher Hills Elementary School.
Why?
Because I could see and hear students and staff standing in front of the school by the flag pole, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Quintessential way to begin the school day. The scene had a Norman Rockwell quality to it, at this neighborhood school located east of San Diego, California.
The lilting voices of the students as they finished, pledging, "...one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all."
This inspirational scene is pure Americana and makes this old veteran proud.
All middle schools, high schools, community colleges, colleges, and universities should begin each day in the same way.
