We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand
fibers connect us with our fellow-men; and along those fibers, as
sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as
effects.

Six essential qualities that
are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy,
wisdom, charity. - William Menninger
5/29/08 (9:53 p.m.) Three Bennett’s Mill Middle students
recently had the privilege of honoring the country’s men and women who gave
their lives for freedom.
Seventh graders Devon Killoran, Trevor Mercer and Annie Wright
participated in the wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers
in Arlington National Cemetery. They earned the distinction of serving as wreath
layers after winning a grade level essay contest.
“We were amazed at the impact of the Wreath Laying Ceremony.
The seriousness and honor that was shown for our country’s men who had given
their lives was felt by all,” says math teacher Joy Lamb.
A total of 28 seventh graders took part in the trip to
Washington, D.C. They toured numerous museums, historical sites and memorials.
They also met with the president of the Martin Luther King Memorial and
presented him with a check from Bennett’s Mill to help with the funding of the
memorial.
“When the memorial is completed in 2010, we can say we were
part of the plan,” says Lamb.
