Have a wonderful week off to celebrate Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It is a great time to reflect and “count my blessings.” As I “name them one by one” I will certainly remember each child and your precious families. Thank you for the privilege of teaching your treasures. God is good!
We have had a busy and exciting week. We’ve practiced for our upcoming Christmas Play, spent time with senior “giants,” met our new 5th grade buddies, attended chapel, and used the school’s new iTouch devices to practice skills (see pictures below). Finally, on Friday the K4 students got us ready for Thanksgiving by singing some great songs for us in the commons area. Thursday we thanked our SAGE dining staff for all the yummy ways they bless us each day. See the pictures below! On top of all of that excitement we were able to praise God for keeping us all safe from the tornadoes on Wednesday.
This time of year is busy schedule-wise, but for our students it is also busy academically! The students have learned so much over the last few months and I am thrilled to see the progress they have made. Below you will see a peek at our plans for when we return on Monday November 28th.
