wonderful books in our Media Center.
The Lawrence Township Library District
is a gem, right within our community!

Children have the right to learn.

Let's all be a part of ensuring their
access to books, encouragement to read
and opportunities to think beyond the day.

Celebrate with Sparklers? Here's A Tip

Here's an idea for those
that may enjoy celebrating
The Fourth of July with sparklers.

Poke a hole in the bottom of a large
plastic cup and it becomes a
"shield" for your little ones.

Thanks to Mrs. Carla Simmons with
our Lawrence County Health Department

for sharing this with "Shining Moments"
Please pass it along to others.

Red and The Pledge

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPbIls0iOnI

Vincennes, Indiana native Mr. Red Skelton
created this monologue about The Pledge of Allegiance. During his presentation, the
comedian commented on the meaning of each phrase contained in The Pledge and mentions his principal from Harrison School, Mr. Lasswell.

The Columbia Broadcast System (CBS) received 200,000 requests for copies of this televised performance after it first aired during The Red Skelton Show seen on January 14, 1969.
