feelings and thoughts answering the question Why is the pledge important? Or

with the #Waukthetalk and #KeePledge. Final products will be displayed around
the school so everyone can feel like they worked together and show what the
pledge means to WHS.

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister
Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth's
Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be
used by citizens in any country. In its original form it read:
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one
nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
What groups are we representing when we are saying the Pledge? (Not just the
government)
