I'm involved in schools as well, here we sing O'Canada once a week, on Mondays.
The kids usually don't sing.... you know, too cool and such..... I always sing, which gets the kids looking at me kinda weird... the classroom teacher gets me to explain why I do to them. What I say kind of goes like this; I am proud to be Canadian, also it is my way of honoring and remembering vets year round, not just Rememberance Day.
And finally something my grandfather told me when I was young (he was in WWII),
MEN AND WOMEN OF THIS COUNTRY GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THIS COUNTRY AND FREEDOM, THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS GIVE YOUR VOICE! He also told me if people don't want to sing they should get the hell out of our country.... of course I don't tell the kids that part.
