America the Beautiful


O beautiful for spacious skies, 

For amber waves of grain, 

For purple mountain majesties 

Above the fruited plain! 

America! America! 

God shed His grace on thee, 

And crown thy good with brotherhood 

From sea to shining sea!

This is Ms. Deletto's class singing and playing the Thankful Song

These are the days we've waited for all year

Full of laughter, family, fun and cheer

Full of the foods we love to eat

Filling our hearts with joy that's sweet like you - 

These are the days we always talk about

Letting our happiness and joy come out

Full of surprises under the tree

Wonderful gifts for you and me it's true.


It's Time, it's time

for the Holiday spirit again
