Dear Parents:

We have a great opportunity to take part in a “living history” program at the Maritime Museum re-enacting Exploring the Americas.  On Tuesday, February 11, our fifth graders will be staying overnight on the Star of India.

We will come aboard at 2:15 on Tuesday, February 11 and will disembark at 9:00 a.m on Wednesday, February 12.

Please arrange to pick up your fifth graders at 12:00 on Tuesday and deliver them at 2:15 to the Embarcadero by the Star of India’s gangplank.  When you drop off your student, please have him/her sit within the black taped-in area in front of the USS Dolphin (the submarine).  There will be NO school for fifth grade students on Wednesday. 

Address is: 1492 North Harbor Dr., San Diego, CA 92101

5th Grade Choir Ends Q2 with “Shenandoah”

Posted on by

Last week the 5th Grade choir met one last time to perform Shenandoah

******

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, I’m bound to go, across the wide Missouri. 

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, I’m bound to go, across the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I’m bound to leave you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I’m bound to leave you,
Away, I’m bound to go, across the wide Missouri.

******

Some believe the song refers to the river of the same name. Others suggest that it tells the tale of Sally,the daughter of the Indian Chief Shenandoah, who is courted for seven years by a white Missouri river trader.
