AMERICAN PATRIOTISM •
On Friday, Oct. 12, 2001, at 12:00 noon MDT
students at Nephi Elementary School joined with
students from coast to coast, at the exact same
time, to show their patriotism by standing at
attention to repeat the Pledge of Allegiance. These
1st graders proudly stood during their lunch break
to show respect for the flag. Other students,
whether in classrooms or outside on the playground,
joined in this National "Pledge Across
America."
