2014/09/05 Early Act/First Knight Kickoff at GES

On September 5, 2014 in the Giddings Elementary School Cafeteria, the entire school was introduced to the Early Act/First Knight (EA/FK) program for the 2014-15 school year.  Lady Hannah, one of the Knights of the Guild, previewed the character traits that would be studied for five minutes each school day as part of the EA/FK program.  The students got to see knightly equipment up close and personal with lessons about working together (chainmail), and learning the right way to act (holding a sword).  The kids and elementary staff were very excited by the time Lady Hannah invited members of the sponsoring organization, the Rotary Club of Giddings, to lead the children in the Four Way Test.  The next EA/FK event will be the first knighting ceremony on October 3, 2014 at 1:15 p.m.  Students will be recognized by Lady Hannah and the school for displaying the first character trait of the school year, Responsibility.  Last month, the EA/FK program was awarded the 2014 Youth Organization of the Year by the Giddings Chamber of Commerce.
