Indiana's My Home

This past week Kennedy was featured in a program at Highland Elementary School, where the girls attend.

The first half of the program was presented by the Highland Choir, which is an auditioned 4th & 5th grade choir, of which Kennedy is a member. They presented a program of national songs, including:

• America, Of Thee I Sing
  
• I'm Proud to Call America My Home
  
• This Land Is Your Land
  
• The Grand Old Flag
  
• Yankee Doodle's Poney
  

 
(Kennedy was 2nd from the left, top row)

The second half of the program was presented by the entire fourth grade class of Highland. Fourth grade is "Indiana" year at Highland, so the program included songs that reinforced some basic facts about Indiana.

• Indiana's My Home
  
• Voices of the Past
  
• A Few Men Well Conducted
  
• Song of Corydon
  
• From a Boy to a Man
  
• A Road in the Night
  
• What is a Hoosier?
  
• Indiana's Game
  
• Indiana, That's Where I Belong
  

Kennedy had a speaking part. She taught us about the constitutional convention in 1816, in which Indiana became the 19th state to join United States. That would be the "Song of Corydon."

 

What is a Hoosier, anyway?

It was a great program, especially for Kathy, Michael, and Natalie, who learned much about this new state in which we live.
