"We are a grateful nation" were the lyrics of a moving tribute to Veterans today at Bethel Elementary.
Like Bethel, schools across the district hosted parades, breakfasts and programs to honor the men and women in our community who have served or who are currently serving in a branch of the military.
Bethel Elementary opened their assembly with the Presentation of Colors by Clover High School's Air Force JROTC, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem.
Students in the school's Artistic Music GT program performed a bucket drumming song. Third grade students, under the direction of music teacher Michael Jenkins, performed musical selections called "A Grateful Nation." Students read poems and letters of appreciation to our veterans.
Assistant Principal Shaun Davis led the Salute to the Armed Forces, where veterans stood to applause as the hymn of their branch of the military was played.
The program closed following a moment of silence for fallen troops.
Veterans in attendance for the program then took part in a parade through the school's hallways and a reception in their honor.
On Parents as Teachers Day, we highlight the work of our Bright Beginnings program.
Yesterday, Bright Beginnings hosted a "Play to Grow" event at Bethany Elementary. These events are designed to conduct early childhood and parent education activities at locations throughout the district.
"Play to Grow" started with a fall story read by Bethany Elementary Principal Margaret Guerin. Students from Katie Hurley's Kindergarten class arrived to help the younger students learn their alphabet and letter sounds. Members of the school choir, under the direction of Emily Eakes, led several rounds of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes."
Bright Beginnings Director Carolyn Green spoke to parents about the importance of routines at home. The session wrapped up with developmentally appropriate free play.
Clover High School and the Clover Rotary Club once again partnered to host the second annual Heroes Luncheon.
The luncheon was held earlier today at First United Methodist Church. Veterans and first responders from the community were invited to join students, elected officials and local business leaders for the event.
The Clover High School Air Force Junior ROTC presented the colors and conducted a flag folding ceremony. The Clover High School Choraliers performed the National Anthem. Members of the Interact Club were seated at each table and interviewed the veterans and first responders who sat with them to learn more about their service. Lunch was prepared by students in the Culinary Arts program of the Applied Technology Center.
Sheriff-Elect Tony Breeder, who is a former Marine, was the guest speaker for the event.

The event will be held Tuesday, November 19, from 5-7 p.m. at the CSD District Resource Center.
The Transition Fair is intended to connect families of children with disabilities to important community resources for social support and transition to the work or college environments.
More than a dozen community leaders visited the Applied Technology Center (ATC) today to learn more about its award-winning Career and Technical Education offerings.
Guests were welcomed with opening remarks from ATC Principal Carrie Bolin. They visited four of the programs--Diesel Engine Technology, Fire Science, Health Science and Agriculture Science--to try their hands at skills students perform in these classes every day.
The visitors enjoyed lunch prepared by students in the Culinary Arts program, under the direction of Chef Scott Michaw. The guests were joined by the presidents of the six student professional organizations on campus.
Superintendent Dr. Sheila Quinn delivered closing remarks to wrap up the event.
The District Office staff had some very special trick or treaters today!
Students in our early childhood program got a jump on filling their trick or treat bags by putting on their costumes and parading through the District Office.
Happy Halloween from Clover School District!

Additionally, the Board paid tribute to outgoing Board Member Ginger Marr for her eight years of service. Last night was Ms. Marr's final School Board meeting.
Every Monday should start with an Inflatable Showdown!
That's how students at Oakridge Elementary started their day. More than 15 staff members participated in an obstacle course and line dancing while wearing inflatable costumes.
The event was held as an incentive for the school's Boosterthon.
Thirty-three young quail were released to the wild today following the completion of a project conducted by Animal Science students at the Applied Technology Center (ATC).
Teacher Shalyn Wehbie wrote a grant to Clover LEAF last year and was awarded funds to support the project. Agriculture education and natural wildlife preservation are at the heart of this quail hatch and release program. The Northern Bobwhite Quail is a near-threatened species, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Students in the CHS agriculture program constructed a quail coop and enclosure to hatch quail, nurtured them from prey as they grew and then released them into the wild today.
Red Ribbon Week is underway at Clover School District. Red Ribbon Week is the largest drug-abused prevention campaign conducted in the US annually.
