Mornings at Matthys Elementary start with announcements. 

This is followed by the Learner's Creed and the pledges.

The Learner's Creed is read on the first day of the week.  

Learner's Creed:

I believe in myself and my ability to do by best at all times. 

Just for today,

                I will listen,

                I will speak,

                I will feel,

                I will think,

                I will reason,

                I will read,

                I will write.

I will do all these things with one purpose in mind, to do my best and not waste this day.  For this day will come not more,

the Learner's Creed is followed by the

Pledge of Allegiance:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all"

and the Texas Pledge:

"Honor the Texas Flag: I pledge allegiance to thee, one state under God, Texas one and indivisible"

this is followed by a moment of silence.

 After birthdays & AR points are announced and students begin their day.
