PGSIS 2006
provided with Point State Park fireworks falling from the firmament!

Thousands packed the Point State Park and surrounding areas in
anticipation of the July 4th Independence day fireworks fall
from the firmament. The shapes and sizes elicited expressions of awe. As
the countdown to 9:38 p.m. began, patriotic music and patriotic attire
drowned the park filled with adults and children on Independence
Day.
The fireworks ended with
a bang and a cannon shot in celebration of 230 years of independence.
A bystander commented,
“Washington D.C has nothing on the Pittsburgh fireworks. They are the
best.”
An
entire bus was filled with mostly Pitt students who trekked from Oakland
and surrounding community areas to see fireworks with their friends.
Not
everyone got the opportunity to go enjoy the fireworks. About 100
students and their counselors from the Pennsylvania Governor’s School of
International Studies (PGSIS) class of 2006 could not make it to Point
State Park on that day and had to gaze their eyes on the sky hoping some
will fall from the firmament in their view.
Point State Park to PGSIS 2006

Though you missed the
July 4th fireworks
The internet has its perks
Better than the indoors of
Brackenridge Hall
Where you could not see all the
fireworks fall
So, I prepared something for you
all
You don’t have to worry whether
you are small or tall
All you need is an internet
connection through the wall
And
www.pittsburghstandard.com call
There you will see, ‘Fireworks
fall from the sky’
Click on that link whether you
are a gal or guy
You will surprisingly find out
why
You will see a small story there
About fireworks filling the air
And about patriotic dresses
people wear
Then click on the video link if
you have time to spare
Depending on the internet speed
You will eventually be taken to a
fireworks feed
Until then be patient and
assignments read
And always your counselors heed
Because in the right path, you
they want to lead
And help you in what you need
Because of their authority and
power
They are responsible for you each
hour
You can watch with them, alone,
or with your wing
As you also listen to the
patriotic music people sing
But please don’t forget the
curfew bell ring
As the fireworks you see
Wherever you maybe
May the Lord bless thee!
Watch the Point State Park to PGSIS 2006 Fireworks!
