Ai could never!! Each year our 6th graders memorize and recite “Horatius at the Bridge”, a 70 stanza poem by Thomas Babington Macaulay about a Roman officer who single-handedly holds off an invading Etruscan army. It’s absolutely incredible to hear the entire class recite it. A practice in history, memorization, public speaking, and classic literature.

This is the most famous section:
The most famous section:
“To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his gods”

The sweetest tradition at the end of the year is always the Kindergarten Growing Up Ceremony. The most exciting part is ALWAYS getting to finally wear their hard earned virtue crowns! Nothing brings on the sentimental feelings like this special event. It concludes with their own little lunch together and a special blessing.
