Patriots Among Us

Meadowvale Elementary School held its annual Patriot Program assembly on May 24, 2007. Among the students who successfully completed the Patriot Program were the following children from our Webster Church family: Lindsey Cohen and Jamie Gorham (kindergarten), Margaret Ashman (first grade), William Ashman and Natalie Gorham (second grade), and Rebecca Ashman (fifth grade).

To become a Meadowvale Patriot, these students demonstrated their mastery of a range of topics, including patriotic songs, historical documents, and local and national facts. In addition, they each had to complete community service projects. Rebecca Ashman created a model of the Pentagon as part of the program.

Shawna Ashman – who was the parent Patriot Program Coordinator -- and Dave Brown (Director of Army Future Combat Systems Combined Test Organization) were among the speakers at the assembly.
