Back when I was in grade school, everybody was required to mdmorize the Gettysburg Address when the History Class got to the Civil War...

Now, when a few kids memorize it, it makes the papers..

sigh

Yep, Jr high...had to recite the Gettysburg Address before the class, as did everyone. Good public speaking experience.

Yes, BUT, they're kindergartners. That's impressive, in MY book.
