The guests were then invited to the Fr. Larry Penzes Auditorium to watch the students perform a beautiful tribute to this great country of ours, The United States of America. All the students in grades K-3 sang "We Are The People of The 21st Century." The kindergarten class then sang "Flag of Many Lands" and "You're A Grand Old Flag," the first graders sang "Sing of America" and the second graders sang and used sign language to perform "America, My Home". Finally the 3rd graders sang "United We Stand."

The crowd was then treated to a slide-show presentation and the whole group sang "Proud" and "God Bless America." The fabulous day ended with light refreshments for all.

Special thanks to all the hard working administration, teachers and staff that worked so hard with the students to make such a beautiful day for the "Special People" in their lives.
