On January 17, 2014, Giddings Elementary and the Rotary Club of Giddings held a knighting ceremony as part of the EarlyAct FirstKnight citizenship program. The program which started at the beginning of this school year focuses on teaching the virtues embodies in the knightly code of chivalry to the students for 10 minutes each school day. During this six weeks, the students learned about the virtue of Confidence. At the knighting ceremony, twenty nine K-3 students were recognized for embodying that virtue and were awarded a champion’s medal. The 3rd graders were knighted by Lady Hannah, one of the Knights of the Guild.
Each six weeks a new virtue will be taught and more champions will be honored. The next knighting ceremony will occur on February 7, 2014 at 1:15 p.m. In addition, the Tournament of Champions is scheduled for March 31, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. The tournament is a spectacular, outdoor event complete with armored knights and live warhorses.
