Fabulous Kids Enter "Paul Revere's Ride Contest"

‎05-24-2017 10:24 AM

Eric Metaxas had a contest for kids to memorize the stirring American classic, "Paul Revere's Ride",  by Longfellow.

 

There were so many great entries, they had to make a video collage of snippets of different kids performing.  It's so inspiring, and made my day!  

 

I love the one with the big brother solemnly intoning, while his sister (who he probably thinks of as terminally pesky) is dramatically acting it out behind him...

 

But they are all adorable:

I had to memorize at least part of this in the 8th grade. I still remember it.  Of course, we had no video.
