Recently, all Haskell and Wanaque School students and staff participated in the National Anthem Project. The goal of this project is to assure that all students recognize and can sing the “Star Spangled Banner” and that they know about Francis Scott Key and what inspired him to write the anthem. On the 201st  anniversary of the writing of the National Anthem, the entire student body in both schools sang the anthem in unison. It’s a tough song for some of our younger students, but they rose to the challenge! Feel free to sing it at home! The lyrics are below.

Thank you.
Mrs. Spirko

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
