2014/05/02 EA/FK Knighting Ceremony

 

On May 2, 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 Friendliness.  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 Amber, one of the Knights of the Guild.  

 

Every six weeks a new virtue will be taught and more champions will be honored.  The EarlyAct FirstKnight program is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Giddings at no cost to Giddings Elementary.
