11/1 8 /15 Dragon Connection
Good morning, organized Dragon Scholars. As we stand for the moment of silence, let us remember that, as Mother Theresa said,
“Peace begins with a smile.”
(silence) Teachers, please verify that students are in dress Code. Send students who do not have on their IDs to the nearest AP Office. And now the pledges.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, One Nation under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL.
And now the Texas flag. Honor the Texas Flag. I pledge Allegiance to
Thee, Texas, One State under God, One and Indivisible.
Please be seated.
Dragons, CREATE, BUILD, CONNECT.
November is Native American Heritage Month! Did you know that lacrosse was one of many varieties of indigenous stick ball games being played by American Indians at the time of European contact? Lacrosse may have developed as early as the 12th century in the Americas, and played a significant role in tribal community and spiritual life. Originally these games, many of which lasted for days and included as many as 100 people rotating to play on each team, were said to have been played to give thanks to the Creator.
