On October 19, 2006, the third
grade classes performed in a patriotic program called "This is
America". Students from Ms. Lopez's class performed the opening
act which included the title song "This is America". Mr. Gomez's
class then continued with a skit and song called "I Love My
Country". The next class to perform was Ms. Thompson's
class. They dressed as heroes, pioneers, patriots, and
soldiers. Their song was called "American Tear". Finally,
Ms. Ospina's class performed a rap called "Mighty United". The
classes then came together for the finale which included a parade of
states. The song was entitled "Lights of Freedom". The show
ended with "God Bless America" and the audience was asked to
partipate. Special guests from the community including the Deputy
Chief of Police, members of the school board, administrators from
Lincoln Center, and Waukegan City Aldermen attended. The colors
were presented by the American Legion. Former Oakdale principal
David Mackie, and former assistant principal Joyce Meyer were also in
