"Almost Show Time"

These two PreK students

are ready for their holiday sing-a-long!

"Special Delivery" in PreK

That first glimpse......

one picture of every classmate,

and their very own holiday rhyme.

Then we all read our book together.

Here's a Glimpse of Beauty

"The kids in our classroom are infinitely 

more significant than the subject

matter that we teach."

~Meladee McCarty

2nd graders with items

they brought in as donations for  

The Sign of the Kingdom Food Pantry,

instead of buying gifts for one another.

Thank you, thank you!

Going Together

"If you want to go fast,  go alone.

If you want to go far, go together."

Celebration Time for Donations

Pupils gathered together on December 20th

to sing holiday songs with Mrs. Mendenhall!

It was our final day of classes, before break.

Mr. Williams told us that $1,800 in donations had been collected & given directly to the

"Jump Rope for Heart" organization. 

This child collected the most donations.

Names will be omitted to protect the innocent!

However, no one was really innocent......

Why?  Staff are suiting up to get "pied," 

by those youth who collected the most money.

Were staff members encouraging students?

Yes, yes they were!

It's a fact....some kids targeted their parent!

With lots of giggling from the crowd.

This child is thinking, "Are you ready?"

At this point there is lots more giggling.

Arm back....taking careful aim!

Me, why me?

Here.....it.....comes....mom.

Bulls eye, it's a done deal.

There was little doubt, lots of good sports!

A messy business.....but for a great cause.

A day we'll not soon forget!
"There is nothing in the world
so irresistibly contagious as
 laughter and good humor."
