Good morning Shells! Today is Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a moment of silence.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Good morning! Today we celebrate Constitution Day, marking the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. Through discussion and compromise, the Founding Fathers came together to create a new form of government that has guided our nation for over 200 years.
As we go through the day, let’s take a moment to appreciate their work and the freedoms we enjoy because of it.
Have a great day, and happy Constitution Day!
