Before the students and staff headed "over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house" for Thanksgiving, we hosted 30+ family members and friends for a special meal. It was our way of saying "THANKS" to those who have given to our school and to each of us individually. The students planned and prepared half of the meal which included ham sandwiches, oreo salad, chocolate chip cookies, chicken noodle soup, and pumpkin dessert. Students set the tables and decorated them with homemade turkey favors filled with peanuts and candy. The school was definitely "cooking" with activity!!"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24
The third graders have been studying the lives of early settlers to the United States. Of particular interest was the close look at the variety of log cabins built for shelter by these frontiersmen. To complete this unit the dads were invited into the classroom to help their child build a log cabin. Thank you Dads for all your help and expertise!
