Our students recently had the opportunity to participate in a special program through Country 105.1 WILQ. Each homeroom was recorded reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and these recordings will be aired on the radio over the coming weeks!
Below is the schedule for when each homeroom’s recording will be featured on WILQ. The recordings are also available now on WILQ's website if you’d like to preview them. The link to the recordings is at the bottom of the message. I encourage you to tune in live on the day your child’s class is featured, it’s a proud moment you won’t want to miss! Please be sure to share with friends and family.
Thank you to WILQ, Shawn Carey,and all the teachers and students who helped make this project possible!
