Manhasset Students Shine A Light On The Symbols Of America

Family and friends gathered in the Shelter Rock Elementary School auditorium on April 24 as Shelter Rock second graders took the stage for their United States Symbols Show. The performance space was set up in patriotic fashion as red, white and blue balloons were positioned near the risers, courtesy of the Manhasset SCA. Each student wore a U.S.A. hat and a T-shirt with a different American symbol on it. During the show, the second graders showcased what they learned about

America. This included facts about historic American figures such as Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, and American landmarks such as the Liberty Bell and Mount Rushmore.

With the help of music teacher Sarah Duke, the students entertained the crowd with five patriotic songs. They concluded their show on a high note as they waved their American flags in unison and performed “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”
