They were treated to a patriotic songs from the LIES Osprey Ovation. It was a fun day for everyone.

Following the presentation of the American flag by the BHS Color Guard Cadets, the audience joined in singing our National Anthem and favorite American songs.

The whole school program ended with an emotional song and power point presentation from Mrs. Dangerfield’s kindergarten students called “Thank You, Soldiers.”
