Today was a very special day to be a City Park Panther!
Our entire school gathered at Harmon Practice Field, across from the National Guard Armory, for a meaningful Veterans Day Assembly honoring the brave men and women who have answered the call to serve our country.
One of the most important messages we shared with our Panthers today was that veterans aren't just people we read about in books or learn about in history lessons. They are our neighbors, our family members, and even people we see at school every day!
Our Student Council led us in the Pledge of Allegiance as we faced the American flag flying at the National Guard Armory.
🎶 Our City Park Glee Club helped us honor our country through patriotic music, including a beautiful performance of our National Anthem. Our entire school joined voices to sing songs celebrating our country and the freedoms we enjoy.
❤️ We were especially proud to recognize three veterans who are members of our own City Park family: Mrs. Bagley, Mrs. Starling, and Officer Chandler. Before serving our students and families, each answered another call to serve as a member of the United States Army.
Today, they continue to serve in different ways—teaching, encouraging, protecting, and caring for our Panthers.
As we reminded our students today, service isn't just something you do. It's a way of making a difference in the lives of others.
A HUGE thank-you to Sassy Celebrations of Dalton for all the help in creating our beautiful patriotic decorations and making this celebration extra special! 🇺🇸 We are so grateful for community partners who help us bring these meaningful experiences to life!
Thank you to our staff, student leaders, Glee Club, and everyone who helped make today's assembly possible. Most importantly, thank you to the veterans and active-duty service members who joined us and to all who have served our country. We are grateful for your service and sacrifice!
📸🐾 Be sure to visit our Facebook photo album to see how our Panthers came together to honor America's heroes!
Today and every day, we thank you for your service!
❤️🤍💙 Endless PAWSibilities at the 405! 🐾
At City Park, we know that freedom is a precious gift—and that includes the freedom to read, learn, explore new ideas, and discover the world through books! ❤️🤍💙
This Veterans Day, our media center is proudly celebrating the brave men and women who have answered the call to serve our country. Their courage, dedication, and sacrifices help protect the freedoms we enjoy every day—including the opportunity to open a book and explore the endless PAWSibilities found within its pages! 🐾
Our special Veterans Day book display features stories of service, sacrifice, courage, and gratitude. Through these books, our Panthers can learn about the people who have served our nation and better understand why we honor them.
To all our veterans: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your commitment to protecting our freedoms. We honor you today and every day!
❤️🤍💙 Happy Veterans Day from the 405!

This year, our Panthers will leave the 405 and gather together outdoors for a special community celebration of the men and women who have served—and continue to serve—our country. Our program will include the Pledge of Allegiance, our City Park Glee Club, patriotic music, a whole-school singalong, and a special recognition of our veterans.
Veterans and active-duty service members, please make plans to join us! We want our students to see that those who serve our country aren't just people they read about in books—they are members of their own families, school, and community.

Who knew you could make beautiful music with ordinary drinking glasses? 🎵🥛
Our 3rd–5th grade Panthers enjoyed a fascinating Glass Harp Music assembly presented by musician Brien Engel, courtesy of the O.N. Jonas Foundation!
Through music, science, and history, students explored how vibrations, friction, and sound waves work together to create music. They also discovered how everyday objects can become musical instruments and learned about Benjamin Franklin's invention of the glass armonica!
🎶🔬 This unique experience brought STEAM learning to life, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and thinking outside the box!
It's been another exciting week of learning and discovery at City Park, and this assembly was one more incredible PAWSibility for our students to experience something new!
❤️🖤 A special thank-you to the O.N. Jonas Foundation for making this educational opportunity possible for our Panthers!
